| I've found books in used bookstores. If you want a certain book for your collection go to someone who does booksearches. They can find almost anything! |

I found and purchased many of mine from ebay. I did find a great book on Triangulation by Kidder 1917 that as soon as it arrives it'll be scanned and added to the library (283 pages) My cost for the book was 29.00 - your cost once scanned and added - zero 
Someone here also was looking for the book "The Steel Square - Vol 1" by Fred T. Hodgson and I was able to find and purchase this book as well and it sits waiting to be scanned. We have the Vol 2 in the library and we'll soon have the Vol 1 there as well. Last week we were able to secure several more copies of old magazines from the 20's that have great reading and articles that will add to the library content.
But with all that said, we can add and add and add to the library, but nothing beats a cupa cawfee or three:) and a good book to read in the easy chair:) |

| My old boss had a set of books called Practicle Sheet Metal Layout (or something like that) They come in spiral bound form that can lay open on your bench. It also had a chapter on triangulation and a few decent tips. his copies were about 25 years old or so but they're still in circulation. I saw them online somewhere about 2 years ago. |
