A book titled as "AA5" will probably have, well, AA5s in it. And with AA5, you restored one (OK, two) of them - you pretty much know them all. Even those made in Latvia (can I still call them AA5 or should I go like AL5?).

Somehow I think there are not tons of those out there, and if you look at two or three and look at reviews (and solicit opinions) you will know what you need.
