This E-book is available in either E-Book or Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

Self-extracting E-Book:

This format is more interactive and effective on-screen but has limited printing capability (not intentionally).

When you click the Download button you will be asked if you want to save to disk; say Yes. Download time will vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection but if that is an issue for you I suggest the smaller file below. When the download is complete, just double-click on the file icon, "Lathe.exe" and the E-Book will display.

Adobe Acrobat PDF:
Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 or later.

This format is less interactive on-screen but does print better. In general I think you will like the E-Book format better, but if a complete printed copy is important to you, then download the PDF version. Or do both!

The most recent , updated version of this E-Book can be purchased on CD. Both the self-extracting E-Book and Adobe Acrobat PDF versions are included.

Price:  $ 6.00 ea.
