Folks, I will refund all your money sent me for my book DFM/CE. However, I will continue with the book using other than IPC graphics. Apparently it was ok to publish free check lists with IPC graphics and references to IPC guidelines - according to Jack Crawford. Unfortunatly for us all, I think, the following message from IPC's own David Bergman will delay my books' publication for a short time as I had planned on such action while thinking, obviously wrong, the book would help many - INCLUDING THE IPC: Dear Mr. Moon I have had the opportunity to review your document "Proof of Design- The DFM/CE Book for Printed Circuit Boards, Assemblies, and All Manner of Other Things Technical." This document contains material that is copyright of IPC and has been reproduced without permission of IPC.
