Over time, I've lost the game & the book.
Yesterday, we went to several book stores in the area, and any time I would ask about a book of approach plates or airport charts, I received the exact same result:
First, the clerk would take a step or two back (this kills me, do I stink all of a sudden?)
Next, they look me up and down, and then say, "You need to contact the FAA for those kind of things because they are either:
a) top secret"
b) not available due to terrorism"
c) not for the public"
d) all of the above"
No amount of explaining how these things were freely available on the Internet, and that I was just tired of buying ink to print them out would calm them.
I would be followed around the store as though I was going to shoplift.
So, to my question, since such a reference is not available at your local Barnes & Nobel, could someone recommend a rather comprehensive collection of charts & plates in good old printed paper version?
Thanks for the help.
