I'm looking for a photo-copy of the title page and the contents (reverse side) of an old book published by McGraw-Hill "How to run a lathe" by JJ O'Brien and MW O'Brien. It is probably about 1930. Chapter
Hi Gavin,
I have a reprint of the 1942 edition (reprinted by Lindsay). I can scan and e-mail you the two pages if they're what you're looking for. Send me an e-mail ( snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com) if they are.
Best wishes,
Chris
This book appeared in many editions throughout the 1900s. My oldest was dated
1944, and was the 43rd edition. I own several editions (probably need to thin the herd a little) but I have noticed little change between them. All editions open with the early tree lathe graphic. You are welcome to a scanned copy of my 43rd edition's title/contents pages but they are marked with their former owner's name in ink, and also have additional staining.If anyone wants a mint never used version of this book contact me off line by visiting

Why should anyone buy one when you've already violated the copyright and offered a free scanned version?
You realize that reprints of that book are readily available from a variety of sources, less than $10?

Why would anyone jump to the conclusion that a 1930's copyright is still valid before checking rudimentary facts?

All the Lindsay books are good, although some are a little "strange."

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the "money touch," but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
