older copies usually go for less money look for a 14th to 18th edition- they come up reasonably oftenAfter around 40 years of working with computers, an iPod, an iPhone, a 27” high def second screen on one computer an a second computer with 12” and 23” screens, oh and a kindle, I still prefer the printed word on paper.
Curling up on the couch with a book and a maybe a cold beer. I still print documents from the web for reading.
Just a grumpy old fart
If you aren't too fussy with which edition you get can find them pretty cheap on ebay. I recently bought a 24th edition for less than $20 with free shipping.
Something I don't see mentioned too often is there is also a guide to the handbook which is pretty helpful in explaining what all the stuff in the handbook is for and how to use the information.
I got the matching 24th ed guide for less than $6 with free shipping, as I'm not a professional machinist and not a math wizard I think the guide is pretty handy. The guide references pages in the handbook, so it is a good idea to get the same edition guide as handbook or you will be hunting around to match up the pages.
