That's awesome about the book. Good legwork there. I'm interested definitely, but I concede that I'm sure I'd have ready access to your copy, and to Joe and Krista's.
I'm surprised that you hadn't read 'The Jungle' prior to now. I remember reading it in High School. Project Gutenberg and similar online projects are fantastic for that kind of thing though. I have a bookmark for one of the original versions of what became the 'Fanny Farmer Cookbook' and there is an Australian site that has some really interesting agricultural texts. The Make blog also occasionally points to an interesting book in Gutenberg usually something like Projects for Young Boys, or something like that.
