Does anyone know if it will be reprinted? Vol I & II? I thought maybe the MTFCA would reprint it.

I think that Ted had these printed up himself and sold them through the Club. Somebody correct me if I'm mistaken.

Langs 2007 catalog had them. Google reference says they are available on CD from the MTFCA library.

Ted's wife continued to sell those books, but she may be sold out now.

I have two; one marked volume two with a light green cover, and another unmarked book with a tan cover. Is the tan one a volume one? It has a copyright date of 1988, whereas the other is 1993.

The tan one is the first edition. It was simply marked Tinkering Tips, or at least that is what I was told. I really like to first one the best. The second one is also good. Lots of good humor and Ted tried a lot of the items printed. When he states that he was told or he had heard of an idea or solution generally indicated he may not have tested the solution. I only met him once but what a great guy!

My Tinkering Tips, marked Volume I (2nd printing April 1999) has a blue cover. The other, marked Volume II (2nd printing 2001) is kind of a mottled grey.
