Are people interested in Fabricand's "Horse Sense" for historical reasons or to develop into a program?

I read his book many times since the early 70's.
Actually corresponded with Fabricand a few times.
It was the statistical treatment he applied to pari-mutual betting that caught my interest.
After reading the book for the first time, I approached the publisher to see if they wanted to sell me the rights to the book.
They declined and republished it themselves.

I misplace the two copies I had, but a PA member, sensing the anguish in may recent note and has mailed his copy to me, for which I thank him again.

So I guess my interest is mostly, nostalgic, and that PA member becomes part of the book's history with me.
