Words fail me!!!

Vandalism comes to mind !

What occurred to me was the idea that a youngster starting in trades (anywhere in the world) would be glad to have a copy of the handbook regardless of edition and would likely use it for many years. He or she may well not have the money to buy a copy. I was lucky to be able to obtain one when I started out, and still use that very copy nearly every day at work. A real shame to see one abused this way.

Just a bit of light bedtime reading.

To paraphrase Ettore Bugatti (having been shown a type 35 with a Ford V8 engine installed) ………..

"When I am the Dictator the man who did this will go to the guillotine!"

Oh dear!

Improved out of all usefulness.

I've been using the 11th edition for the last 30 years or so at work, has not failed me yet.

This is an example of how easily useful information is lost.

The steampunk crowd would love it, I'm guessing that was the motivation.

… is that part of the 'upcycling process ?

From the advert:

This is a vintage machinery handbook 12th edition upcycled into a desk table lamp

Sorry: Forgot to say … it's sacrilege.

I used a pile of encyclopaedias as a bed leg in an emergency, it either that or take the other three off.
