………… My personal collection contains approximately 35 Vintage Surveying Text Books that cover the years from 1796 to the 1960’s, with a few having survived more than 2 centuries & 25 being over 100 years old. …….. You can use the “SEARCH” function to help you find what you’re looking for, or if you prefer to just scroll through the list of books from my collection that have been uploaded so far. They are listed below in general order by date (oldest at the top), with the author’s last name at the start of the description for each individual book. …… Please note that I am currently in the process of creating & uploading captioned images of books from my Vintage Surveying Text Books collection & regularly add new images, so please return often to enjoy the newest additions to this section of my web site.
…………. For each listed book, I’ve generally tried to upload the front & back covers, together with the ”Title Page” plus a sampling of several interior pages. If you have a research-based question about something specific that may be in 1 of the listed books, but is not shown on the pages I’ve uploaded, please email me with some details of what you’re looking for & I’ll do my best to find what you’re after & give you a timely response (please try to be patient & remember that this is just a hobby for me, not a business).
