I bought the 28th large edition new from an Australian book shop for around $120 and am happy with it.
It took about 6 weeks to come and I think they just order it overseas when you order it.
I just found it and it's still the same price after 2 or more years

On the first line it quite clearly states the conversion factors for metric speeds and feeds. As I said above, the book is very much made for the US market. In this case they produce just one chart and it has the above mentioned conversions available to enable someone to calculate the metric data. The book packs a lot in, and if there is a choice between providing metric and imperial they always provide the latter. Generally in previous editions that would be the end of it, with often no mention of metric at all.

Sorry but I don't see your point. The publisher only has room for one chart, the book is primarily written for the US market. So they publish the imperial chart and show how to calculate the metric data. What would you expect them to do, publish metric data and provide details on how to convert to the imperial measurements that 99% of their readers would be using?
I'm afraid for imbeciles like myself, I have to be content with needing to look up things like correct speeds and feeds (if I was keen to use them) in places like MH so needed to buy a copy. For those who already know it all I guess they get to save that money and there's no need for them to either buy the book or steal it off the internet.

I'm a bit speechless..... I put a ####ing smiley there as it was said toung in cheek. It's hardly embracing metric if its just a formula that anyone transferring from imp to metric would already know. I'm sure you have never stolen anything of the net. I'm not sure why but it seems if your name is Peter you have a ####ing problem with me......
My main question was to do with the feed rates listed, not the lack of metric. Not once did I say there should be a metric chart.1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
16th ED vs 29th ED
and a typical metric update.

Obviously the basics won't have changed since essentially the first edition, other than perhaps to include details on metric conversion. Yet the book seems to get larger each year. Given your gadget there Josh, how does the material in MH29 pages 713-715 compare with that other edition? Can you put up a photo of the same section in MH 16?

Can't do a comparison as the 16th edition was published in 1959. The pages 713-15 in edition 29 start off with a specification that was not written till 1973.
For others the that do not have the 29th edition it is the section that deals with the use and calibration of a surface plate, and being a US document it is largely based on the federal spec GGG-P-463C (google it and you can find a pdf). As it happens this is where I would have loved to see the a metric standard grade plates with the repeatability specification (as I still can't find what it should be :S )
