My book is much older than the edition described above.
My TextBook of the Materials of Engineering is the 8th edition by Herbert F. Moore and Mark B. Moore; copyright 1953 by Mcgraw Hill; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 53-5172.
I picked this book up at a yard because it was old. Although, I don't have an interest in engineering, I've read through this book to feed my imagination. Who wouldn't; the first copyright was 1917. I can't say I've learned all the engineering content, well nothing applicable to pratical purposes, but each time I pick up this book I'm reminded books don't always tell one story.
