Description: Stanley "Special" and Custom Rules by Scott Lynk (2002) - Signed by author This is a hardcover book titled STANLEY "SPECIAL" and CUSTOM RULES. This book was published by Scott Lynk and photos by Ted Ingraham. Plus, this example was signed and dated by the author in 2003! For nearly all collectors, the task of even attempting to acquire "one of each" in their chosen field of interest is sufficiently daunting to make such an effort the quest of only the most dedicated of tool enthusiasts. Not easily intimidated by such a challenge, Vermont rule collector, researcher and all around good guy Scott Lynk evolved from dedicated Stanley rule collector to a seeker of the unique among Stanley's voluminous output of measuring devices. Limiting his collecting and researching interests in recent years to the topic of special order and custom rules produced by Stanley, Scott has compiled the results of his research in this superb new book that is copiously illustrated with large black & white and color photographs. Included are hundreds of extremely rare specialty rules from Stanley, many of which are the only known example. For each rule, the features, manufactured date, dimensions, materials and finish are listed, as well as the collection in which the rule is found.In addition to the catalog of special order and custom rules, the work includes patent drawings, articles about particularly interesting custom order rules, early catalog illustrations and countless tidbits of information to be found nowhere else. If you have an interest in rules or Stanley tools or tools in general, Scott Lynk's new book is a great guide to what drives collectors to get up in the middle of the night, race to where they are going, scramble for a few hours while dodging many familiar faces, come home almost invariably with less than they would have liked, but love it all just the same. A must for the serious tool collector. This book is hardcover with an attractive dust jacket and contains 328 pages. It measures approximately 9" x 11 1/4". This book is USED and I rate it in FINE CONDITION overall. The dust jacket has a few scuffs, but is still solid. LONG OUT OF PRINT! A GREAT BOOK ON STANLEY FOLDING RULES TO ADD TO YOUR REFERENCE LIBRARY! Please ask me any questions you have on this item prior to bidding.
