    FWIW, I received the a 1st edition copy of Cobine's  as a birthday 
present this year. NOT inexpensive. They really don't make books  like they used to!
    Lots of "practical" info beyond all the arc theory.  I found the stuff on 
welding arcs, lightning arrestors, fuses, Lichtenberg  figures, mercury 
rectifiers, all kinds of other gaseous rectifiers, discharge  lighting sources, and 
electron beam focusing/deflecting very interesting.
