Very welcome.

Having all the books appealed to the collector in me, so I understand your desire to complete the set. But it is also a practical thing to have them all as it proves to be pretty interesting to look up a question in all the books and get a perspective on possible answers. I have found that comparing the sharpening sections through the years, for example, or the alignment sections from book to book is educational and entertaining.

Aside from 'collecting', the Mark VII inclusion is quite important to me. I did not know this existed! I was surprised at how 'available' it is.(at least it was last night!)
