Bill Kibbel Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Very nice collection, Jerry. I would never be able to part with any books I've collected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I see two pictures there of tenement buildings with plumbing vents going into the chimneys. Ice boxes had floor drains under them. Jerry, if you scanned these books, could you sell Kindle versions of them? I'm thinking the copyrights may have expired.

Inspectorjoe Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Jerry, if you scanned these books, could you sell Kindle versions of them? I'm thinking the copyrights may have expired. Many similar books are available for free. Here's one published in 1903, that I've owned since I was about 14 (I was a strange kid). Maxims and instructions for the boiler room. Useful to engineers, firemen & mechanics, relating to steam generators, pumps, appliances, steam heating, practical plumbing, etc. http://www.archive.org/details/maximsin ... 00hawkrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
