"This book sets out to provide something more than a calendar of operations. Week by week I have tried to show not only what must be done but also the best way in which to do it. The book is aimed at beginners that is hoped to simplify, not complicate the application of information to each and every year." Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are now republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
