    My wife works at a printing company and they still do work like this. Mainly rebinding textbooks with a few page changes or a new chapter, along with new covers. Often, they will have a dozen or more skids full of identical books to do. It keeps a lot of employees busy. This photo would look good in their shop!

    Books might subside, but I can't see full replacement. Like what a PITA Machinery's Handbook or Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers would be online...

    Chances of that being so are extremely high, provided Marv is still pursuing coronation. . .

    Yes, still pursuing but I'm afraid I will have to pull a Napoleon and snatch the crown from the emcee and place it (jauntily, to be sure) on my own head.

    Meanwhile, work on the list of those to be incarcerated after my accession proceeds apace; volume 19 (C-D) is almost finished.

    Frank S; when I get leads on reference material, like to see what turns up. In grand internet fashion [and a cool PJs trick] I copy/ pasted your "Smolley's Tables......" to see price ranges. They start at less than $4 bucks. If you follow the google "Did You Mean" of correct spelling with one 'L', pricing doubles. YMMV!

    PJs gave me a site called fatfingers that compiles oft-misspelled terms; where sellers don't get bids because of t-t-typos.
    http://www.fatfingers.co.uk/default.aspx A good element, that site is UK, so things like color vs colour get included.

    Internet selling has different levels of sophistication; Amazon & Ebay might top the list. Somewhere lower but easier with local results my favorite is craigslist. But the funniest and highest rate of misspells [or illiteracy] is OfferUp. Willing to bet their crowd is farking phones, while other sites attract users with real keyboards.

    2006 or so, I wanted a proportioning divider to help me scale items from photos at work. Brand new they run $180-200, used maybe $80~. I played with spelling and found mine for $11.
    Cha-ching.
