a retired professor is trying to make room in his library - here are some
books, drop me a note (go to my web site to get my email address) if you
would like one or more - quite a few of these relate to topics that get
discussed on this NG, though they are not metalworking per-se - most of
these relate to queueing, inventory control, production efficiency, and so
on - mostly hard back

Simulation and analysis of industrial systems - Schmidt and Taylor 1970
Dynamic Administration - Teh collected papers of Mary Parker Follett -
1940
IBM PC applications for the Industrial Engineer and Manager -

The Human Problems of an Industrial Civilisation - Elton Mayo 1968

No fiction? Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Mystery? Romance?
You got no books there, you got HOMEWORK!

"Human nature is bad. Good is a human product*
A warped piece of wood must be steamed and forced
before it is made straight; a metal blade must be put to the whetstone
before it becomes sharp. Since the nature of people is bad, to become corrected
they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual
and moral principles."
—Sun Tzu
