<p>[QUOTE="Tom Maringer, post: 2869724, member: 7033"]I got mine back in 2001, while it was still in print. I think it was $80 at the time. It is still the best book extant on explaining some of the processes and is a precious resource here at the mint. We frequently refer to things like: "Well, Cooper on page 163 suggests a 146 degree angle for a hobbing cone..." (btw, the 146 degree angle is ideal for most die-work, though after experimentation we sometimes use a steeper or shallower angle depending on the depth of relief needed) I made a request to the publisher to reprint (no reply) and then made a formal request for permission to scan (no reply). I think it would be worthwhile scanning and converting to pdf simply to make the information accessible to more people. By the way, even if your library does not own a copy, you can always request one through interlibrary loan! Often the librarians will not offer that to you (because it's extra work for them) but if you request it, they will get a copy in for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
