Great book for new ideas from old hands from the past.The wording is straight forward and not patronising nor condescending.Diagrams are well illustrated.All in all this book covers the full spectrum of model engineering,it shows the all the tips and best approach to all tasks that would be required in Metalcraft.It’s also a book you can go to and know that any information you might require will be there.A fine book .

Informative
Informative and interesting reading even for someone with years of model engineering as a hobby. For a time served engineer however I doubt if they would learn much.
