Couldn't find any info with infoseek (or maybe I didn't know how to search).

    I believe you've found a uMIA ;-), although it might be a compilation.
    We've managed to recover some HAM Radio titles by the same publisher already:
    http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekpub.cgi?regexp=^Pearsons+Computing$

    I guess if we can get our hands on it, we'll be able to find out more info.

    UK buyers may want to look at the eBay UK for this:

    Thanks for the tip off, I'm sure the sights are lined up :-o, but it'll probably be a hard battle for this one ? C'est la vie.

    Thanks. If I win the auction, I'll ask the seller to send it to you. :)

    Andrew,

    According to the photo, when zoomed in, it lists the four items already shown under Pearsons computing on WoS, on the inlay.

    ZXBruno, uMIA means unlisted /unknown missing in action.

    Given that John Pearson's callsign was G1FTU (nicely listed in Infoseek), I rather doubt this is one of his compilations :-)

    I also wonder how ghbearman managed to determine that the 4 titles in the compilation have all been listed under Pearson - apart from being the wrong publisher, I failed to see e.g. AMTOR listed anywhere here.

    Lastly, the 'u' in 'uMIA' technically stands for 'unlisted' (as 'unknown MIA' would be a bit weird to talk about when we identify, or know of, any).

    Anyway, an entry has just been added for this compilation.

    I'm sorry. Looks like I got out of bed the wrong side today. :o
