The technical library of the Tod Engine Foundation has at least a hundred or 
more engineering textbooks dating back to an 1893 edition of Applied 
Mechanics up to more modern stuff through the forties.  After WWII the 
collections thins out some.  I've been frequenting every flea market and 
antique mall that I can find.  Rarely do I leave without one or more old 
books under my arm.  Of course there is also a health selection of Lindsay's 
books.  Its funny that none of what is in our library duplicates any of what 
he reprints.  Also I rarely find duplicates in antique malls, there are 
always different texts to find.  Everybody must have been publishing 
technical books in the first half of the 20th century!

We also have a 21st edition and 7th edition of the Machinery's Handbook. 
Both are indespensible since they do have some different information in 
each.
