Re: [BKARTS] engineering books need a new home

[Carol Pratt <jcpratt@xxxxxxx>]

Jennifer,

Engineers who have any work in rehab or in renovation of old  
buildings may be very interested in these.  The engineering may not  
be "germane" for current building, but they illustrate what the  
practice was in the past, and so they are very useful as a window  
into what a particular building will present.  There are some titles  
that have never been replaced.  One of my clients was most anxious to  
have his "historical" volumes stabilized so that he could continue to  
use them, because they were very hard to replace.  Of special value  
are the old Graphics Standards and the steel manual.
