Got Some New Books..

[Zenobian_84]

Been busy with work and school. Went to take an ASE certification exam today, which I happened to pass thankfully. :) So now I can relax somewhat. Figured I'd post up some of the things I found (and consequently brought home) a few weeks ago, around the beginning of November, IIRC.

 

Talked to my instructor about cleaning up our "storage area" after I got off work one morning. He told me to go for it, and to keep whatever caught my attention. For clarification, there's about 30 years of printed shop service manuals, diagnostic books, and overhaul procedures for engines, transmissions and the like scattered around.  :eek:  :no:  The story was that the last instructor(s?) some 10+ years ago got a lot of that stuff, and over the years the collection moved around until it ended up in the "storage building". 

 

 

A few hours later I ended up having most of the good stuff sorted onto pallets by category and what the books were about. Funny enough, that red book on the bottom was from the early 60's and looks like a children's "Pop-up-book". All the "detailed, working models" you control with little lever arms and whatnot. I had a good laugh showing it off to some of the other people in my class when I found it.

 

 

That's pretty much where I left off. And from what I gather, it still looks like this over there, because no one bothered to go in after me and get the rest of the "collection" sorted out.

 

 

Moving along; decided to get some pictures of what I got my hands on when I got home that night.

 

 

In no particular order...

 

This one went to a good friend of mine who's crazy about Corvettes. Sort of a late birthday present, I suppose.  :shake:

 

 

The only Kaiser/Jeep service manual I found. I was surprised to even see something this old stashed away in the bookcases. Not even sure if our school ever saw any of those pass through during the 30+ years it's been around.

 

 

 

K/J table of contents.

 

 

AMC related goodies.  :brows:

 

 

 

 

Back of the '77 SM. Love the Jeep pride.  . :MJ 1: .

 

 

You H.O guys should enjoy this.

 

 

 

Even came with it's own, brand new and unmarred "DRB Functional Flow Chart"

 

 

Lastly, a neat reference book for Spark Plugs made by GM in '89. Came with an equally nice, unmarred, giant (like 3'x2') poster akin to the last page in a Chilton's manual or the like.

 

 

 

All in all, not a bad haul, if I do say so myself.  :popcorn:

Looks like a couple nice little shears there too. Those free also?... I would've been all about them.

Pfft; I wish. There were also a few old hand operated presses just out of the view of the picture. Too bad I couldn't load those up and "send them to a good home".  :yes:
