Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Gave it to him and he loves it. Four stars on first, fairly brief, look-through, pending a possible fifth star once we've settled as he plans to actually use some of the instructions. I do love when useful books go out of copyright and get reprinted so that they're more easily found. The depth and breadth of "devices" explained in this...astounding. Lots of farm tricks that we've used in the past (keeping a gate from sagging, for example), lots of simple and inexpensive ones that we'll be using in the future. Full instructions for a cinder block house! Great. He's very happy. Tucked it into a pocket and plans to flip through it in camp during this current hunting trip.
