[TheForge] Interesting books from Lee Valley

[Mike Spencer]

Lee Valley Tools has an interesting line of books that you may not
have noticed.  The (now retired) founder and former CEO works up
reprints of old books relating to wood- and metal-work and other
trades and crafts.  Sort of his personal enthusiasm.

I got _507 Mechanical Movements_ (Harry T. Brown, 1868) for Christmas.
Paper but with sturdy binding and sewn signatures.  Lots of pics of
things like the Scotch yoke and the ellipse-drawing widget someone
here was asking about recently.
