I just bought a set of Engineering Workshop Practice (3 Volume Set) and Advanced Machine Work, should be here in a week.
I will also be watching more closely the local auction house for books, usually I just get tools there (recently an 11 drawer Kennedy loaded with Dormer taper reamers and counter bores, mills and drills for CAD110)

It's too late! Plus I have the additional problem/risk of also being Dutch. While this makes me try to spend wisely, it also means a lot larger pool of books :-)
E.g. The first two are from my uncle who worked at KLM before and during WWII, the last 2 are my dad's carpentry textbook from 1930. Both amazingly useful, esp the carpentry one for joints and making window frames waterproof, a skill seemingly lost in the 21st century.

Very nice GERRITV. St.Catherines is a good drive, Just the kind of thing I can add to my (too few) used book tours.

gerritv:
The 3 volume Engineering Workshop Practice is very worthwhile. Some serious reading coming up.
inthesticks:
Very nice gerritv, excellent condition. Look like the same vintage as my set.
If you like more modern sets, but still pre-automation, you will love these 2 sets. Should be more available in good condition.
Cheers
