Looking to add to my library of books, and have been looking for a variety of books in regards to welding, and didn't notice if this has been talked about before  unless I missed it,But what books and or reference material do you suggest, for beginners and so forth...
Reply:Lincoln has a lot of good books. Best being on page 2 "procedure handbook of arc welding". Pretty much covers everything about welding.http://www.jflf.org/SearchResults.asp?Cat=81.No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:Miller also has a lot of training materials available under the resources tab on there website. They used to have $35 student pack that had about a dozen guides in it that covered most welding processes but I did not see that on there website. A lot of there materials are also downloadable but I like to have the printed materials to read at my leisure.

Reply:Ebay is your friend, I've found anything from around 1930's through to WW2 is worth grabbing, no stuffing around in those days, welded everything and being a time of hardship, then war, tried anything.If nothing else, makes a great read, even if your eyes do bulge!Last edited by jackdawg; 03-28-2016 at 04:12 PM.

Reply:I found plenty of welding books in used book stores when I was selling books by mail order.Salvation Army has lots of books with low prices.Lincoln Electric has many books on the subject.Good idea to buy the books before the welder.Ebay used to be good but its hard to get good deals there since the went paypal.
