I built my trailers using this book, and photocopied a few pages years

and asked permission to upload the relevant pages (honest me), but he
gave permission for only three pages, even though he has no plans to
reprint the book.

I have basic instructions at my site:

And some blog posts of trailers built by others using the above:
