I just finished Gears and gearcutting, by Ivan Law, and I just started Workshop Techniques by George H. Thomas.
BTW, the Book Depository (first link above) is having a summer sale, and they offer free worldwide shipping, which is handy for some of these machining reference books from the UK.

I ordered one book from them last time you mentioned it. Paid US$13.28, and it was shipped airmail 5000 miles from the UK to Porland, Oregon. SOMEONE lost money on that deal, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't me...Denis wrote:BTW, the Book Depository (first link above) is having a summer sale, and they offer free worldwide shipping, which is handy for some of these machining reference books from the UK.

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
Indeed. I have bought nearly a full set of the "special interest" model engineering books for way less than half the cover price, and all shipped gratis. I don't know how they can be making money. I suppose it's because they carry the "long tail" and those books are almost given away by publishing houses, who would otherwise have to store them someplace, or pay money to pulp them.Aegis wrote:I ordered one book from them last time you mentioned it.

BTW, if anyone else is thinking of trying the Book Depository, let me know - I believe I received some sort of offer recently - if I recommend you, you get an additional 10% off, and so do I or somesuch...
