I'm in a list-making mood. If you had to choose 3 books to recommend to other metalworkers, whether technical or fiction, what would they be?



Here's a start on my master list:



TECHNICAL



Machine Shop Trade Secrets James A. Harvey How To Run A Lathe South Bend Lathe Works Machine Tool Rebuilding Connelly Welding Principles and Applications Jeffus The Machinist's Bedside Reader 1-3 Guy Lautard



FICTION:



Trustee from the Toolroom Nevil Shute Callahan's Key Spider Robinson
