    Out of interest who's it published by? More importantly who was it
    published by in 1957?

    Don't trust anything from that period, or at least trust very little.

    I have a very interesting [1] 1968 book on the Warsaw Rising, from a US
    publisher for European distribution. I also have some 70s/80s Soviet
    published books on Berlin and its 'liberation'.


    [1] In a social/political history sense

  2. Right having trawled through my library I've found my copy 1957 The
    Anchor Press. It's been a while since I read it but IIRC it doesn't
    have any particular axe to grind - nobody comes out of it well.

    <fx google>

    might be worth something

    but I doubt it

  5. I googled for SAB also and came up with a few but just mentioning it in
    passing, no details.

    Oops. Thanks for trying.

    As it turns out (the ways of the internet being mysterious and
    wonderful) I found out last night that biodiesel made with propanol
    instead of methanol is resistant to waxing problems for at least 15degC
    lower; and that the propanol derived stuff only needs to be blended in
    at 33% with ordinary BD to act as an antigel.

    Now to find the cost of propanol.

  6. That's the kiddy, there. I have my suspicions that it is also used as an
    additive.
