In article 01c3a5a6$c13165a0$eb93c3d8@race, Bob Paulin says...

A while back, there was a book mentioned on this newsgroup that many felt
was the quintessential book for a metalworking shop.

First book that comes to mind would be nearly any copy
of the machinist's handbook, of whatever vintage.

The next might be the Moltrecht book, and then possibly
the Connelly hand-scraping treatise.

My personal favorite however would be South Bend's tiny
booket entitled "How to Run a Lathe."
