The Handbook of Hard Chromium Plating

adv.

Q. I'm searching books and publication about hard chromium plating, I read about a book called "The Handbook of Hard Chromium Plating" by Guffie, but is not available on Amazon or any other book sellers.
Could you help me find out this book or any other book like this?
It helps me also if a used copy!

It's sad, but very few of the classic electroplating books are in print anymore, and even the major used book dealers have run out of many of those classics. We link the mention of these books to their stock numbers at Amazon, as well as Alibris and other places so that you can check stock easily and frequently.

Our advice is to frequently check stock at multiple sources through the links we have built for that purpose, and to immediately buy any that you find at reasonable prices :-)

I have that book, which I have made high quality, photo-static copies of. I, however, am not certain of what the legal ramifications would be for giving out those copies. Ted might be up on this...?

Hi, Randy. Although I have no special knowledge of the subject, I do believe that giving out or selling photocopies would be a copyright violation.

Thanks Joe. Availability comes and goes, but the only copy we see on Amazon today is listed at $1,995. -- which is a bad joke. I have a copy and my personal sense of value says it's worth $100-$150 :-)
