The price is cheap enough, I guess. This is a very poor reprint of the South Bend "How To Run A Lathe" book. Nowhere in the ad does it say that it is a reprint. The pics are poor and very dark, very difficult to see what is supposed to be there. I have a copy of the original and it is FAR superior to this poor copy. Buy the real one.

Many of us out here appreciate finely made things. If you ever wondered how those things were made and had time and a suitable place to ponder such things, this book will awaken the can do spirit in every person. Is it enough? Hardly, but it is a beginning and a good one.

OK book if you have never operated a metal lathe before. Lathes depicted in the book are very old but it gets the point across.
