I have four Shipmans. Interestingly, never bought one. They just showed up
in the box when I bought kits.
Two are identical 1979 volumes that cover the OM-1, OM-1n, OM2, OM2n and
OM-10
One is 10th - 1987 and covers the OM-2n, OM-2Sprogram (that's how it reads),
OM-3, OM-4, OM-4T, OM-PC and OM-77AF.
One is 15th - 1989 and covers the OM-88, OM-77AF, OM-PC, OM-4, OM-4T and
Infinity SuperZoom 300
Interesting that there it jumps from the 10th in 1987 to the 15th in 1989.
Wonder what the three editions in 1988 were like.
Are there later editions?
