Farmer,

That is indeed an interesting book with gems that don't fade
too much with age - like the life expectancy of different woods
as fence posts and as many rope knots as a boy scout manual
has. I bought it from Amazon two years ago for $17.26 delivered 
and would bet it is still easy to get that way. But know ye that the
it can make one feel a tad ancient to be so familiar with most of the 
tools and machines displayed and explained in a book from 1917.
