Nice find. I think my hoppus book is blue

[liamjordan]

we got a few coppies of it, in blueeee tho

[ecolojim]

this one doesnt seem to have the diagrams of the end of a log, or the taper in a log etc. seems to be tables only? im guessing in the couple or so hundred years it's been in print there are different versions

[liamjordan]

ours just have the tables, didnt know they came any other way?

must be something they dropped in later editions. cant find a date on mine this far
