Handbook of Lost Wax or Investment Casting

This book is a series of pamphlets written quite some time ago when people used asbestos without a second thought.Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the booklet as such. But it is written in a style of many well meaning articles of some time ago, lots of text but not greatly clear descriptions. It says 5 dollar on the cover, for five dollar I would be most pleased to pick this up but times have moved on and the standard of publishing would hopefully produce a better presented book and give more paper for your money.It does give an interesting insight and show a few low cost options for equipment if you can read through the not so clear long winded descriptions. I suppose if you consider paying a premium for what is an outdated book with certainly a little different angle to the subject matter then ok. At the price it's selling at I felt a little cheated. Nothing wrong with the book for what it is just something wrong with selling this book at a price that would buy a shiny, glossy very well produced much heavier and extensive and clear book.Hope this is helpful to prospective buyers.

Excellent and informative , good value, recommended for anyone starting in lost wax casting but bear in mind American publication especially with regard to electrics
