This was from a posting on the Atlas 618 Yahoo discussion group. This is a link to a company selling this and other machine operating manuals and other info.
I haven't purchased these or have any connection to the company.

Clausing still sells the "Lathe Operation..." book and can provide most of the manuals for the 12" Atlas/Craftsman lathe accessory manuals as well at pretty reasonable prices. It's a shame that some "entrepreneurs" see fit to market something that is still available from the original manufacturer. And even sadder that there are buyers for these products, at least those that are only interested in saving a few bucks.
And a very useful book it is -- more useful, for the hobbyist, than South Bend's _How to Run a Lathe_.
