C M Hokes

[Steven Crim]

I found a C M Hokes "Refining Precious Metal Wastes" 1982 edition, used hardcover in good condition for $50.00 plus shipping.

Is that the latest edition and a fare price?

Is it digitized somewhere and can it be downloaded for free??

Thanks in advance! Steven

Steven,
That is about the best price I have heard on it.
Don't worry about the latest edition question,
the info in the book is timeless.

Jump on it, and fast!

The book was reprinted (but not upgraded), and it, too, is now out of print, so the copies are hard to find. That's an outstanding price----the lowest I've seen of late is around $75.

Even if you could download a free copy, you'll never regret having a professionally printed one. I still have the one I got back in '72 and cherish it, even though I no longer refine.

I'm very pleased to see you react! :wink:

finally ready to order a book, I went to get it from that $74.00 link but their ordering system presents a problem, all my credit cards expire in 2010, and they can only go to 2009. Didn't somebody have a contact with those people? If so I'd really like to get my hands on this book.

that would be great, I was planning on getting your DVD as well so maybe you can bill my card for both?

I don't have the means to CC but if you have PP that will work.

Many thanks to Harold for giving me the final nudge to get...THE BOOK. I bought it from IPMI and it only took four days to get here. Not even enough time to get anxious. It's great to have everything I need to know at my fingertips. It might save time asking a lot of questions. (Maybe)
Thanks again Harold

I am deeply interested with the book, especially because all the experts here recommended and frequently quoted from this book.

But, I am in Indonesia and impossible to find that book.

Anybody can help me?

 

[istari9]

I Have IT! Can hardly put it down! Very easy read and clear understanding. To the point. Thanks so much for the recomendation...
$69.00 with freight from Harold’s source.
The heating incineration section has cleared the fog my sight is returing. I have been able to apply the lessons of this forum to the text and am able to understand more and more.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!

Very pleased to hear you're satisfied. The book allows much of what is discussed to make sense----even though much of what is done on the forum is done by work-around methods.

As you become more familiar with the processes, you'll understand that not much is new in refining---so the book is an excellent way to become familiar. It is particularly good in the way of teaching testing procedures, which appears to be a weak point with readers.
