The ones we had are long gone...
I mostly meant if there is a home use market (like there used to be door to door sales)...Do people still buy them for personal use?...even with the Internet...?

I was just thinking about how much vetting the information in the old volumes must have went through before being published...and it occurred to me that what better use (in the future) of AI...than automatic vetting of anything on the internet at the browser's discretion...

Curse California Air Resources Board for giving us the ability to spill more gas than with a regular Jerry can! Imagine that, a flex spout and vent!
