I was just wondering if the book "Recovering precious metals from waste liquid residues" by George Gee is worth reading due to the very old publishing. What is it like, 120 years ago he wrote it?
Some feedback please!
 
And please, just a book request. Could someone please upload "testing precious metals" by Hoke? I havent found it on the forum nor in google.
Thanks in advance!

I tried to print the book and first 2 pages came out partials with extra large print and only part of the page. Is the book available for purchase anywhere? Have a great day. allan
 
shaftsinkerawc,

If you're talking about the Hoke testing book, the link works fine. Instead of printing directly from the Scribd.com site, I downloaded it first as a pdf from Scribd. I printed a trial page (page #8) and it worked great. The page printed completely on one sheet of paper, although the text was a tad larger than normal - maybe 13-14 pt. The only problem I see with the pdf download is that the pages aren't numbered. You could probably make a MS Word doc from the pdf and number the pages.

Unlike Ms. Hoke's other book, this one hasn't been reprinted, as far as I know. I have seen the original available on used book places like abebooks, but the price was quite high.
 
For old or out-of-print books, try http://used.addall.com. It's a used bookseller network meta search: searches across ABEbooks, Alibris, Amazon, etc. Put in the title, select "sort by price - ascending", and buy the cheapest copy you find.
