    If WSHTF this will be worth a fortune for rebuilding civilization.
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023*

I can't help but think WSHTF these will be worth a fortune. It will give people a good head start on rebuilding civilization if it ever comes to that... Why else do you think "Brain" in Escape From New York chose to live in a library?This set of books is a great primer on how many of the mechanical items work in our civilization. Even some of the items that can't give you the proportions needed still give you a wonderful starting point that you can fine tune from there.Absolutely indispensable for a society that has to "start over after the holocaust"...Had to wait over 5 years until I found a set that was affordable...they are THAT good!

    Informative, but not practical
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022*

If you've read the sci-fi novel Lucifer's Hammer, you're familiar with this set.  It's interesting, but by no means is it a repair manual and I can't think why the author had a character use it as currency to buy his way into a Doomsday shelter; a full set of Popular Mechanics would have made a better plot device.

    How to rebuild (1970's) civilization
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015*

This is the four volume set (according to Niven and Pournelle) that everyone should have (well, maybe everygeek) in the aftermath of a civilization destroying comet impact. Took me years to find. And that brings up a qualification.  Many of the things that work, described with very nice illustrations, are cutting edge tech of the 1970s or early '80s, not so much now.  So we see a block and tackle, of timeless relevance, and the rotating print ball from an IBM Selectric typewriter, perhaps not such an enduring bit of technology. Since it's unlikely this will ever see another print run, I' d get this while it's still relatively cheap, especially if you want to revive the 1970's after the apocalypse.
