Books, Catalogues, Brochures, Manuals

Below you will find reviews of books and a variety of collected brochures, manuals and catalogues for download.

I have a project going where I am trying to scan in old catalogues, manuals, books, brochures and the like to make them publically available online. If you have anything you are able to send in to be scanned, please drop me a line. The Carter plane and tool catalogues I have so far can be found here.

I have some scanning hardware coming that’s supposed to scan quickly and non-destructively – it has been held up by the Coronavirus pandemic but once that clears and it arrives I will hopefully be able to process the books relatively quickly.
