Tel. +358 9 695 441
Telefax +358 9 6954 4330

Yrjö Kukkapuro is one of Finnish classics in furniture design. The book Scandinavian Modern Design 1880-1980 (New York, Harry N. Abrams, 1982, p. 151) says about him: "Nurmesniemi's high-polished steel and leather chairs and Yrjö Kukkapuro's bold swivel armchair made of metal and welded plastic turned Finnish furniture design toward a decisively international style." The book Finnish reflections (Finnish title Heijastuksia Suomesta, Helsinki, Kirjayhtymä, 1981, p. 86-88) presents Kukkapuro's armchairs in a large two-page colour photograph, with the text "Yrjö Kukkapuro is one of the best-known Finnish furniture designers; his creations have virtually achieved the status of classics. …"

I assume you want to use Word for Windows word processor software with Windows 3.1 operating system and that you are using the version 6 or earlier of Word for Windows, so the proper guidebooks should cover these earlier versions of Word for Windows:
Word for Windows 1.x,
Word for Windows 2.x and
Word 6 for windows.
Notice that there isn't any version 3.1 of Word for Windows, whereas windows 3.1 was a major operating system still used by many people including you.
These books are still available in public libraries of the capitol region and match your requirements:
PERSON, RON: USING WORD FOR WINDOWS 2
Lichty, Tom: Desktop publishing with Word for Windows for version 2
Tyson, Herbert: Microsoft Word for Windows revealed

Yes libraries are happy to receive requests for possible acquisitions (for CDs or any other material). You can make these requests in several ways. First there are special acquisition request forms in libraries that you can fill out and return either to a special box recerved for these requests or directly to library personnel. Second you can, of course, go to a library and make a verbal acquisition request. Finally you can contact libraries by e-mail and make your request in that way.
Please note that it is important that you specify your request as well as possible. Also in your case the request is best to direct to a library with a music department. In Helsinki the Itäkeskus library's music department specializes in film music so… |
