There are some GR8 finds at gun shows, pawn shops and the LGS. More newbies would do good for themselves finding these paper reference books and reading them.
Absolutely. Knowledge is power. It is wise to have a reference library... and a library card. You can learn a lot by reading from those who have gone before and studied. Foolish to reinvent the wheel. IMHO
This was the the way we learned, plus you would learn about history about things., I have a lot of old hard copies would like to find a home for . All you would have to do is come and get them . That means free .
Just my 5 cents jj
I've been picking up older manuals. Between smithing, diy, and reloading and loving having the reading material. I had to buy an older accurate load book just to find a use for powder with aa8700 or h870 load data.
