    60's

    I have some nice stuff with copy right dates in the 60's but nothing from the 50's. What in particular are you looking for?

    red book

    It is a red hard cover book--published in 1954. I'm trying to help find one for my husband.
    Thank you---

    Hey, I've got that same book.

    Got it off of eBay for 5 Bucks.

    Go on eBay and do a search for Bell Gossett. I see one of their books come up every so often.

    Beware though, I may be bidding against you :)

    same color

    It looks just like that but says engineering manual on the front. It is ove 200 pages. Has everything from Physiological aspects of Heating to Design tables and examples, controls Hydroflow systems etc.

    How thick is that handbook?---Would you sell it to me??

    ebay

    Hey Glen---we just lost the manual on e-bay Saturday---thought it was over at 11pm--but it was over at 11 am. My husband wasn't too happy with me. That is why I'm searching as hard as I can to find it.

    Jill, try Advanced Book Exchange

    www.abebooks.com . This site has book dealers all over the USA and Canada participating.

    If you search the site for "B&G Handbook", as I did, you'll find a few copies. The ones I found were the original 1940 edition though, but they're still quite interesting.
