Could well be either, it was around the late 70s early 80s when the book went walkabout.

Damn nuisance my memory isn't better. However, I'd recognize it instantly if I saw it. Must check those references out. There may be enough info online for me to figure it out. Thanks.

"Crystal Oscillator Design and Temperature Compensation :Marvin E. Frerking (1978)."

Ah, that has to be the book, just did a search and there's a photo of the cover on Amazon that I recognize. I said it was bright yellow with red writing and I was pretty close with its red lines and bits.

240 pages and not 300, but that's not too bad after close on 50 years. And I was correct about the price too, it is expensive, Amazon has it at $110 for the hardback.

Good one!
