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.

Hi Stuart,
I ordered one after our emails, still waiting for it to turn up. Sounds good, hopefully it may help me with the scope a bit more.....

Ew

I'd be interested in a book like that but there's probably stuff in it that would fry my brain!

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...

Ray

Hi Ray,

I bet my book has more pictures! :D

Hi Simon,

You're close enough to borrow mine.


Stuart

If you run out I have the Moore trilogy -
Precision Hole Location,
Holes, Contours and Surfaces &
Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy

(These are possibly the biggest sales brochures every produced)

If you haven't already read it Ray, try "Slide Rule" by Nevil Shute Norway, aka Nevil Shute, it's a great read, and in the meantime I'll look for a copy of Trustee from the Toolroom. Cheers,
Rob

Plus one on the Nevil Shute books.
Rob have you read 'The Rainbow and the Rose' it is partially set in NW Tasmania?
Mm.

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.
