I bought this book a ways back and evidently loaned it to a friend - he returned it about 2 years later - I had forgotten all about it .
Now as a hard copy with the same picture as this one - and for I think $29.00 then it looks like value went up some . Allis-Chalmers Construction Machinery & Industrial Equipment (Crestline) by Norm Swinford (2002-01-23) Hardcover – January 1, 1760 |

guess one should have invested in books as the value exceeds inflation
