    Regs Books

    Hello Fellow Sparks. Can anyone tell me what they do with their old regs books. As I've got amendment 2&3. I have done my 17th with amendment 2 so it's got lots of regs highlighted and a few calculations written in the book. I have also done I&T with it so it's got lots of extra info in. Thanks
