When making my choice a few years back I opted for the print version because
on resource books like this, I derive a lot of "incidental learning" as I am
trying to find something. It just doesn't seem to work the same way with
CDs....Also, the book with lots of greasy finger prints on it is much more
impressive than a scruffy CD.
Oh, BTW....for all of your aging Boomers out there, the LARGE PRINT edition
is worth the extra money.

BS 1083:1951 and 916:1953 gives BSW and BSF bolts as identical in
dimensions except for TPI. Source Kemp's Engineers Year Book 1962.
Noticing the date makes me think it would be worthwhile moving into
the 21st century. Anyone have any thoughts about book versus cd
versions of Machinery's Handbook?
Thanks.
