Subject: Atlas model 7B shaper

I'd been looking for an Atlas shaper for some time, and almost drove a
few hundred miles to look at one a couple of months ago but didn't. 
This weekend an Atlas 7B in pristine condition showed up in the
newspaper, and at $250 I snatched it up (despite the problems of
getting it while cooking for 80 folks due that evening for a surprise
retirement party for my father...)

Anyway, I'm more than a bit of a neophyte at this - any suggestions
for a good beginning shaper book?  I'm assuming that Lindsey has
something, and I'd like to get 'em ordered before leaving on a
business trip on Wednesday.

(There are few things worse than getting a new toy and not being able
to play...)

Re shaper books, I've got the Emmanuelle Steiri book offered by Lindsay, 		
I am happy with it.  I have not found what I consider a great shaper book
( I have found many fantastic lathe books)
