Old Books

These two old books are from my Grandfathers estate. He was a mechanic but had an interest in machining.
I suspect that the first book would have been a requirement for a machinist at some point early in his/her apprenticeship.
Around 1400 pages copyright January 1 1941.
I see a reprint is available on Amazon.com.

The Starret tool catalog is dated 1935 and is very brittle and fragile.
If only the prices were the same today.

I have a number of Audel's books - a really cool one on early Marine Engineering......I should check out what is on that shelf at home! nice books to have !!
 
I have the same Audel book and steam engineering books 2 with some foldout ( 3’x3’ ) diagrams although my son scooped them for his bookshelf! Lol
 
Ahh...back in the day of real leather bound books. Nice memories you have there.
