Does anyone have Raoul Robinson's Amateur Potato Breeder's Manual?

I can’t find a place to download it. I guess it used to be available from Sharebooks.com which doesn’t seem to exist any more as far as I can tell.
Thanks,
Kim

Do you recommend it, or is it like thé only book out there on the topic?

There is:
The Lost Art of Potato Breeding (Garden Alchemy). I have not read it, but it was recommended.

Bruce, thank you so much.
I have just gotten The Lost Art of Potato Breeding yesterday.

Morvan, Raoul Bobinson’s book is aimed at breeding resistance to all parasites including viruses through horizontal resistance which means that many genes contribute to the resistance so it is robust instead of resistance that relies on one or two genes that breaks down causing disasters. He actually worked on breeding potato’s resistant to viruses in Kenya, I think, with great success.
