I am after a dozen or so out-dated, hardcover self-paced training books from Microsoft Press, Sybex whoever. Happy to pay postage costs or can arrange to collect anywhere in the lower North Island (Taupo south).

Not sure exactly what you are after but how about:

"PC Secrets - 2nd Ed" by Caroline M Haliday, 834 pages, pub by IDG books, 1996, ISBN 1-56884-498-0

"Mastering Windows XP" by Mark Minasi, 1020 pages, pub by Sybex, 2001, ISBN 0-7821-2981-1



Sorry - these are not hardbacks.

You must have one very crooked floor to need books of that size to stop your table wobbling :)
