I've got 15th, 24th and 25th, and they are now up to the
28th edition.


Geez, DoN. I bought my 15th edition when it was new and current. You're
sure making me feel old here!

It sounds like you're talking about the Machinery's Handbook.

I bought a 14th edition for 3 reasons:

1) it was born the same year I was, 1953
2) it contains some of the older, pre-CNC info
3) it cost only $4.25 + $3.00 s/h
