Yes, to the several organizations/members noted in the responses.
But we (LHS) as well as other brick/mortar shops...like Charlie at Nassau...have a FREE copy for you if you stop in...and after our supply is received. Usually we get one advanced copy for the store and customers are welcome to page through it at the counter. Long ago we would mail out copies to our Lionel customers-of-record, but the USPS took care of that....too much $$$, damaged handling, 'lost' copies, low priority late deliveries, etc., etc.,etc..
Besides, it's a chance to chat, buy, pre-order, ....bellyache....whatever!
Hey, FREE is good! An excuse to visit your LHS?.....even better!!
