Anodic coating defects: rare book source found, surprisingly

Summary for anodic coating defects Discussion

Anodic coating defects is the focus of this book request, with Mervyn Powdrill asking whether anyone had a copy of Arthur W. Brace’s *Anodic Coating Defects – their causes & cures* for sale. The editor’s note says the book was extremely hard to find and that their own searches had turned up nothing, asking readers to report only a real bookstore source, not a vague lead. Later, Axel Blecher provided a concrete answer: he said the book is available through www.interall.it under books, with a price of 116 plus mailing charges. The thread therefore moves from a near-dead end to a specific purchasing lead, though no one else confirmed availability or commented on condition, edition, or stock status.

Ed. note: We give up on that one, Mervyn! It has to be the hardest to find metal finishing book there is. We have checked every source we can think of, and have only come up empty to date. Please advise if any reader knows a bookstore that actually has it–as opposed to a source that might have it, because they don’t!


A. The book is available by
www.interall.it under books.
It costs 116 plus mail charges.
