Bear Guides- before 1980

[ham]

I have the early Bear guides, 1980-82-85. My 1982 guide lists as the 8th guide. My first one was 1980. I decided to get one or two from the 70's, but, they don't seem to exist. My 1980 guide should be number 7. That means the guides would go back to the mid to early 70's. I have looked carefully and had my son (he's better on the computer) take a good look and neither of us have been able to go back further than the 1980 guide book. Could it be that John actually started at number 7 and that there are no 1 through 6 books? If anyone has or knows about the existence of these lost books, please comment.

It would be very interesting if they don't really exist. Just saying!!
