I just got and read "Soldering and Brazing" by Tubal Cain, which had
been recommended on RCM. It was very useful, and well worth the $13.00
(including shipping by Royal mail) it cost me.

Buying it took two tries. The first attempt, directly from Amazon.com,
petered out. What worked and worked well was to go through Amazon's
"new and used " (Amazon Marketplace) button, and select a British
bookseller who ships to the US. I used "The Book Depository Ltd.".

Soldering and Brazing is #9 is a whole series of 33 practical books.
Wonder if they are all that good.

I don't have the entire set but the ones I do have are good.
Especially the one on gear cutting and milling on the lathe.

If you are in the US try Powells

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy
which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations;
even a democrat like myself must admit this.

But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy,
for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the "money touch,"
but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
