I'm trying to locate a copy of the Kas Thomas book

"Lightplane Maintenance: Aricraft Engine Operating Guide"

I found a review at Amazon.com from the author explaining that
the TAB edition of the book is a rip-off from his original book,
published by Belvoir Publications.

Does anyone know how I can locate a copy of the Belvoir edition
of this book? After several Google searches, I can only find
references to used copies through Amazon, which look like TAB
editions of the book.

Thanks,

Thanks for that - no I didn't think of it.

I did contact Light Plane Maintenance (the publisher of the Magazine)
and they said that the book was long out of print, and they have no
contact information on the author. Strange, as I thought Kas Thomas
started that site/magazine...

By the way, I contacted the publisher - no info there either.
I guess I'll just buy the TAB edition...

If you go to your Lycoming Distributor, they will be happy to
give you a copy of the Lycoming Flyer Key Reprints. It contains
numerous articles on all aspects of operation of their engines, and a
lot of it could apply to operation of other brands, too. Interesting
stuff. For free.

IIRC, the key reprints are also available for download on Lycoming's
website.
