Books like this really need to be republished and maybe the Guild could examine this possibility now that the copyright has expired (first published 1909).

That is a great book. I remember Gabel referencing it here before. I put it in my "google library" long ago. Google books is a treasure trove for old carpentry texts. A "library" almost unimaginable before.
But, it's also effectively killing the aims of those who wish to republish these texts. Why buy the book if you can view it and/or print out for free? (and just the sections you want.)
It seems there would essentially be no market in North America (or anywhere else google books is available) for these reprints.
