Yes, I could certainly scan some important parts to give you the main ideas
of the book which is build in 2 parts : the method and the comments from
some users who give their experiences .
 
But, be patient, because our scanner is full occuped AND I have
a lot of work this time :-)
 
On the other hand, maybe  it's only interesting for few people and don't
could be sent on BEE-L.
People interested send to me their email address <[log in to unmask]>
