How many books?

Looking to buy book or books for someone who has responsibility for steam heating system in 100+ yr old house but no training and apparently no specialists in the area.



Would it be throwing too much at the poor man to get the 'special deal'? The books included are:



The Lost Art of Steam Heating

A Pocketful of Steam Problems

Greening Steam

We Got Steam Heat!



I'm sure they're all excellent, but would the information be redundant? What would be most essential?



Thank you!

    At a minimum,

    We got steam heat and Lost Art.



    You can't go wrong with the whole set, though.



    "Lost Art" is the steam bible, and "We Got Steam Heat" is the instruction manual for a steam heating system.

    All four

    I bought all four. The lost art has everything. The pocketful is portable. You got steam heat is a great loaner (I don't have that one anymore). Greening steam has all the cool new stuff.

    Steam

    Where are you located? There may be a steam specialist hiding out nearby.
