The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1994. Cloth bound illustrated hardcover with dust jacket.

Using original letter books, shop committee meeting notes, photographs, and a wealth of other documents, Harry Silcox reveals Disston's highly sophisticated distribution and marketing system as well as a management system, unlike that advocated by Frederick Winslow Taylor, that responded to the concerns of workers and foremen.

This book comes from the collection of Edward Lebetkin, my father, and the proprietor of the antique tool store above Roy Underhill's Woodwright’s School in downtown Pittsboro, NC, which recently closed after a 14 year run. I am selling many more books from my dad's shelves that he used to research his inventory. If you are a serious woodworker, check out my store for more wonderful titles like this one.

Good condition. Solid copy with clean pages & some shelf wear. Binding slightly cocked. Edge and corner wear to the dust jacket.
