“A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.” -W.H. Auden
Synopsis
Excerpt from Good Engineering Literature: What to Read and How to Write With Suggestive Information on Allied Topics Every book 'should have a Preface. It opens up the subject with the reader much as the state of the weather opens a conversation be tween strangers. In the present case, the sub ject - the making, selecting, and reading of en gineering literature - is one on which, up to this time, there has been practically nothing in published form, excepting a few reprints of lectures and occasional periodical articles. A treatment of this important subject has been long needed, and I offer no apologies for the present attempt. But such a work is peculiarly open to criticism and in anticipation of such, I may say that I am already well aware of its many imperfections and faults, both of omis sion and commission.
