Hardback copy of the original Field Manual

This book is nothing more then a poor copy of the Army Field Manual, with a colorful hardback cover on it.  Do not expect any new information, or formatting.  Ripped off.

I have the 1973 version of this book (still available through Amazon).  The 1973 version is really the original 1935 text (published in 1940) with a forward written in 1973.  I suspect the 2007 version is much the same.  The chapters are many and include: City vs Country Life, Tried and True Ways to Fail, Who is Likely to Succeed, Figures Don't Lie, The Farm to Choose, Where to Locate, Lay and Lay-out of Land, Windbreaks - Pro and Con, Essential Factors of Production, Renting vs Buying, Capital, Farm Finance, Farm Accounts, Water Supply, Sewage Disposal, Functions of Water, Drainage, and they go on and on for a total of 51 chapters with fairly small print so there's a lot packed into this book.

The Appendices is roughly 40 pages and offers information about things like the number of plants you'll need per acre (or any size portion of land), how to figure what farm equipment really costs to own, and much more.  Although the prices quoted to use in the formulas are laughingly low by today's costs - the math and theory behind them is still applicable.

I felt it was worth the price for all that's packed into it that is still applicable today (although I bought mine in good used condition for about half the cover price).

If you want to know more about this book, just read the reviews for the previous version.

I am pleased with the arrival of this book.  It was like new and in excellent condition.  The book was just as the seller advertised.  I would recommend this seller to anyone.  I ordered this book to replace one that was lost in a set I purchased at a thrift store.  Those books were in good condition for their age and naturally, I wanted one of the same quality to replace the lost book.  When Volume 7 arrived in the mail, it was clear that I had ordered from the right seller.  This book is compatible to the other books in the set even though it was copyrighted in the 1950s.

The manual is a "must have" for anyone who aspires to do any social science journal writing.  It's a necessary reference; not fun reading.  rck

I own the original copy but can't find it right now. I love having reference books at hand. Very well written and organized.

It is a wonderful work. I would like to look also the images or photographs of the hard cover edition.

This is a very complete reproduction of the original shop manual.  Well done and complete.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER  AND I HAVE TO SAY THE NIKON "CREATIVE LIGHTING /DIGITAL FIELD GUIDE" BY BENJAMIN EDWARDS IS A 5 STAR MANUAL/ PAPERBACK!!  I  NEEDED GUIDENCE AND HELP ON ALL OF MY 2-NEW NIKON SB910 FLASH UNITS/ UMBRELLA LIGHTING AND POCKET WIZARD MINI TT1/ TT5 FLEX UNITS THAT I JUST PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2013. I SHOOT A LOT OF OUTDOOR PORTRAITS AND MY D800 CAMERA JUST WILL NOT WORK OUTDOORS. I WENT TO COLLEGE AND I STILL HAD TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE NIKON MANUALS.  A GOOD QUOTE FROM THE "DIGITAL FIELD GUIDE" STATES THAT ..."CAMERA MANUALS ARE A GOOD SLEEP-AID".
THE "CREATIVE LIGHTING/ DIGITAL FIELD GUIDE" EXPLAINS IT ALL IN EASY STEPS THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD WITH CLARITY AND EXCELLENT PHOTOS TO HELP EXPLAIN CHOSEN SETTINGS.  G. SANDY EBEIER, DALLAS, TX

A Reprinted book (1986, 1997, 2004) with a new cover, some additional photos, and a value guide.  A good reference book generally, but I had an earlier copy.

Hard to find. Excellent reference and the copy I received was in good condition.

Used as a primary or a secondary reference source by oil field personnel, this compact book contains tons of formulas and calculations that are needed on the field for drilling and other engineering endeavour. Touted as a handy reference for "non-math" users (those who don't run the detailed calculations on a daily basis), the new edition contains additional formulas and calculations, Volumetric Procedure, Lubricate and Bleed Procedure, and stripping procedure.

Designed to condense much-used formulas and calculations that one would otherwise need to retrieve from armful of books, this spiral-bound version reminds me of the formulas and calculations books I used in college for my math and chemistry classes.  All the necessary math and formulas that one may encounter in the field are right here.  Several useful appendices and an index to go along with this nifty little publication.

One note of dissatisfaction - the text is printed on thin, non-glossy papers. Given this is a book designed to serve field oil workers, a heavier coated stock of paper will probably make the book last longer and cleaner.  Plastic coated pages will even be better.  Another reviewer has mentioned the same point.  It's worth noting since this is not a book designed for "classroom" use but, rather, for the rough-and-tough oil fields.

This is the first edition of a county guidebook that Prof Chipping wrote for a class he taught at Cal Poly. A photocopied ed. was sold for years at the college bookstore, but he has just written a new edition, available as an ebook online. Link at first comment per house rules. That's the one you want.

A very detailed fascinating introduction with up-to-date, acessible information of an interesting field identification guide which is basically a nice tribute taken from other books of the previously published subject.

This is a great field book of the birds of Costa Rica.  I find it a little heavy for the field, but certainly a good reference book.  Inclusion of areas of Costa Rica where the birds are found is a welcome inclusion.

Had been looking for a copy of this  for a while. Contains all the info as the original book.

I was so glad to see this book here.  I own an original 1937 hard copy of this book in a Sieber Products binder and cloth cover in like new condition.  It is my most prized book, but I haven't been able to find another hard copy anywhere or an estimate of it worth.  Anyone out there have any ideas on where I could find that information?

I have been working in this field for 50 years but hadn't seen this book until last week - a 1975 edition.  I Xeroxed most of the tables and a few explanations, but am looking forward to receiving the updated (2 volume?) set.  You could find the same data in Perry, Rubber Handbook etc., and in a dozen commercial catalogues, but here is is all in one place with examples of how to use it.
