Hello:

I have found many very good "old" technical books of virtually all fields of knowledge on GOOGLE Books - and patents, too. However, a few are BAD copies and missing attachments.

Worth trying, though

A sad but accurate, IMHO, commentary. Unless you have access to

non-fiction are out numbered by fiction. Is wood working, metal smithing
navigation etc. of lesser value than fiction?
