Great find.
Knew someone who worked at a goodwill here.
She said the manager would throw out anything to do with firearms or military history.
Manager said it was company policy.

Just one more reason to avoid Goodwill. The one nearest me was located in an empty Walmart building. It recently built a huge new building in a growing area. Couldn't have been cheap. I take all our excess stuff(none gun related) to a local charity shop run by volunteers. Going this weekend to help paint the old building.

Sure it is. We all have preferences and likes, especially when it comes to the transfer of information. It either gets across to you, or it doesn't and that's the author's job.
After many years of reading mechanical blueprints, I EXPECT an accurate pictorial representation of the part along with dimensions. Most Lyman reloading books are a good example, having a drawing of the assembled cartridge with dimensions. Having to switch to a "list of dimensions" is time consuming and distracting. It's still a good book though, and a welcome addition to any reloader's library.
Got mine from the old Outdoor Life book club! Bought many books from them
I just got a collection of gun books, and have no idea of their worth.One is the cartridge conversion, mentioned, complete guide to handloading, Sharpe. probably some valuable books in the collection.
I've had Donnelly's book for a number of years, used it convert a number of cases.
I've got a second cartridge book, think it's the Howell book, hardly used it. If I remember correctly, the vast majority of the conversion start with "buy an RCBS case forming set".
I know exactly where the two copies of the Donnelly book are. I'd have to hunt for the second book. Should probably peddle it, as much as I use it.
I found that book at my Local Ollie's discount store; they are a salvage/closeout kind of place like Big Lots used to be. It's a pretty good book overall. Kind of like a cookbook in that there are only a few pages I really use, but keep it on the shelf just for those. It is paperback printed on newsprint. Don't know if it will make it to my descendants.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - or else it gives you a bad rash.
Venison is free-range, organic, non-GMO and gluten-free
Mine came from Ollie's also. I bought a second copy because it's on newsprint. A number of my shooting buddies got copies also.
I think I paid something silly like $7 for each copy.
I think I picked up a copy for someone on here and shipped it to him.
Helping spread corrupting information is important.
