He shows other commercially available attachment plates.
My copy came from Amazon. If we confine discussion to the relevant part, the thread should be safe enough.
No it's not Hinz's book. I'm fairly certain of that.

Im pretty sure it's this book http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-A.../dp/0071475087
