Some of you might know Im a big fan of Elmer Verburg who left his plans for all to enjoy and use. The plans are readily available on the web but the quality of the scans is poor.

Alas his book is not so easily found and commands huge prices but now Roland Friestad, a friend of Elmer's, has a beautifully scanned high definition PDF of the book for sale on his website.

this site has nothing to do with me but I would like to recommend it having just received my copy a week or 2 ago from the US to here in the UK
