I am finding the ‘Workshop Practice Series’ of books extremely useful… my latest acquisition ‘Workholding in the Lathe’ by Tubal Cain….
The photos in this re-printed edition (2021) aren’t of very good quality…

For future reference am I better off seeking older editions of publications like this, as possibly the photos may have more clarity.. i.e. not a copy of a multiply-photocopied original??

Many thanks – TIA 😎🇬🇧👍

Not sure why you are complaining. I have the same edition and the photos are more than good enough for me.
