Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 250 pages. Index. Author inscribed and signed the front free endpaper with the name 'Kenny'. Laid inside front cover is a letter from author to a friend apparently affiliated with the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association. This interesting letter is also signed "Kenny."

Appendix A - Preparing Specifications. Appendix B- Casing Collapse Strength. Book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Light wear to dust jacket which is preserved in a Brodart cover. An extra special copy of this otherwise rare and highly technical yet thorougly practical work. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 133a7795
