Samples of Book Content

(skip to list)

This section will attempt to show you why this book is unique and valuable for your restoration. A sample of each major section of the book is shown for your examination.

However, it should be pointed out that there is no practical way to show the book’s quality of photos or illustrations on the web due to compromises that must be made to accelerate download times. Only low resolution and compressed graphical versions of the book’s pages make web downloads feasible. The web graphics here have less than 25% of the resolution as compared to those in the book itself, with 50% compression degrading the images even further. So, if you like what you see here, you will like the book ten times better!

Below is a list of what you can examine. Each is a page or series of pages from the book which will give you an idea of what you can expect throughout other similar areas in the book. These pages are presented in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) and will require a World Wide Web browser that can automatically open the PDF in Acrobat Reader. Alternatively, the PDF file can be opened off-line in Acrobat Reader if Acrobat Reader is installed in your computer system.
