The book is over 40 years old. I have the book and I gave it another look over and found nothing there I can use or anything that most of us probably don't know or maybe have tried in the past. It was probably worthwhile in some ways when first published but I think we have much better tools now.

That Bert Norman book is going for well over $600 on Amazon. A PDF version is available here for a lot less:

Prices for books that don't sell very often are greatly inflated on Amazon due to the use of pricing bots. Just because someone has a copy priced at $600 doesn't mean it's "going for" that.

If I were to list a copy for say, $500, the bot would price down to something like $499, and I could keep lowering and lowering, all the while the books wouldn't have ever changed hands.

I did this with a book I wanted to buy once, kept lowering the price until it got to a level I was satisfied with, bought it, read it, then sold both copies a a profit.
