You welcome ;-)

I came across this book about few months ago when I was looking for Marshall's inspiration source of Major (speciallyeearly pig) power amp weirdness. Independent bias for each of 4 power tubes and... crap

Yeah, the book is alright, I bet it was an inspiration for lots of 60's era British designs
