OT: mostly minor gloat-not

I see 2 volumes online. Are the different or is the 1910 volume an update of volume 1?

Sell these books, Alistair you have no soul.

These books are works of art, the fact that the tech. may be old, much of which hasn't changed for manual machining, doesn't matter.

Why do they cost so much. Rare and very hard to find.

I called about the cost of rebinding today, quoted $15.00 CDN each, Approx.

Same for the Colvin and Stanley series of books. Principals behind drilling, milling, facing, grinding, layout, surfacing, workholding don't change.

[loose nut]

I dropped the books off today for rebinding and the cost will be more like $50.00/book, a little more work then they thought but still a bargain from my point of view.

There are probably some small changes between different editions plus some off them are just second runs without changes.
