Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses to Engineering Students Just here it is pertinent to mention that the compilation has not by any means been undertaken as a money-making venture - far from it - because the Editors have not only done gratis all the work involved in its preparation, but also have themselves paid the cost of typesetting and providing the plates, in order that the book may be sold to engineering students at the actual cost of paper, press - work, binding, and distribution, the latter being reduced to an absolute minimum by cutting out all possible profit thereon. This has permitted of the book being sold to students of engineering, when ordered in large quantities, at seventy-five cents per copy and to the general public in single copies at one dollar. The Editors were guided in this action by the following reasons: First. They want the book not only to be widely read but also to remain permanently for reference in the libraries of those who read it.
