Ive got a first addition copy of Aircraft Welding by L.S. Elzea
Book is in pretty darned good condition, no noticible tears, no stains
the cover and its gold (gilt) printing is in excellent shape. Id rate
it, if it were a gun..about 98%
Book is filled with text and photographs of the actual how to do..of
welding aircraft frames and similar assemblies together. And how to
design and layout such assemblies. I believe this was printed for the
war effort as a master welding guide in ....the Introduction is from
Chris Beech, and the next page is a request from the Boeing company
for such a book in the war effort.
Anyone have any interest in this? Ill give you a 3 day inspection if
you would like.
I also have 21+ absolutely MINT volumes of a matched series of books
on Aircraft mechanics, pneudraulics, drafting, Aerodymanics and Flight
etc etc by the " International Library, International Textbook
Company, Scranton PA
According to Wiki...they were correspondence course books.
The books in The International Library of Technology were published by
I.T.C. These books were bound volumes of the course materials for the
more than 240 courses offered. These books were used and made
available in at least 184 Colleges (Including The U.S. Military
Academy at West Point and Cornell University) and at least 649 Public
Libraries.[4]
Absolutely mint..brand new condition. From my private collection.

Like everything else in life, it depends entirely on the price...
Make me an offer I cant refuse.
Gunner
Send them over - prepaid freight.
If I like them I'll keep em?
If you give me an offer I like..Ill ship em book rate. If you dont
like em..you ship em back. We are both out bookrate one way.
You will have a week to pay for them after you receive them, or send
them back. But I do expect an offer before sending them. I like
you..but I dont know you.
Id suggest you review the titles and the prices of the books as found
on the internet before making me an offer.
Id be more than happy to post an entire listing of the ILT books that
I have and provide some clear photographs. They are Mint++
My technical bookcase is 8' tall..and 8' wide ..and its overflowing

Trains, Guy R. Williams...and just about everything in between...."How
To Restore Your Collector Car, Brownell" or Clymers Ford Mustang and
Mercury Capri 1979-1987"...also mint+
Some of my books Id probably sell in other venues...such as the Steam
Fitters Book, 1872. Shrug

sporterized Norwegian Krag -Jorgenson in 6.5 Swede , a few years ago.
We both got a good deal. Shrug.

Anyone need a complete set of Hardinge Factory Manuals for Hardinge
CHNC II? Got a set in decent shape. Good set of manuals for a swap or
cash.. That would be $200-500 on ebay. Swap for??
Hanwa SL125 (Oi) Users Manual (CNC)
Lots of books...lots of stuff I really have no need for. Some cheap,
some reasonable. A few...pricey.
Cash is king, swap and trade come in a very close second place.
If there is no interest..maybe Ill get the roommate to do a listing of
all my tech books and start selling them on Ebay or someplace. Got
way way too many Im never going to ever use. And Ive got another
couple thousand still in boxes Ive not even looked at in 5 yrs or
more.
I only have NRA Firearms Assembly 3 &4. Id like to have the full set,
as a single example of swapping books for books or other Stuff.

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
