Looking for a little light reading on thoses days its to hot to go to the shed?
I bought a 2nd edition copy of this from Greg awhile back and while emailing Ewan about this and that to do with his new scope came across the 5th edition. $56.45 and 3 weeks later I have a copy(I hope the 2 extra chapters are worth it).Handbook of Dimensional Measurement, 5th Edition: Mark Curtis: 9780831134655: Amazon.com: Books
Plenty of interesting reading about stuff I have, stuff I'd like to have, stuff I'll likely never have and stuff I never knew existed.

I'd be interested in a book like that but there's probably stuff in it that would fry my brain!
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

Hi Stuart,
You have a strange idea of what constitutes "light reading" I can offer you a loan of "Trustee from the toolroom" by Neville Shute if you want light summer reading...

There are a few of Nevil Shutes books available on Gutenberg Canada's site. None of the ones mentioned tho. I believe that I have all of his books in my library.

Hi Folks, After this thread started I decided I had to read "Trustee from the toolroom" I have heard of it many times before. Paid $10.40 from Amazon for an "E" copy, finished it today, great read.
