• I can't believe this. I was just looking at a newer version of this book (from the 40s or 50s) on my parent's bookshelf.

• This book series is available from Lee Valley Tools. They also have reprints of the Popular Mechanic's shop tips in volumes from 1905 - 1930 as well a number of other "vintage" reprints. From reading these, it's obvious that a country drive was an mechanical adventure and not just a quick jaunt. The reprints are very good quality (like new printing, not copied), and fairly inexpensive. Lee Valley also has a great assortment of mostly woodworking-related tools and hardware of very good quality and fair prices.

• For what it is worth, Dover also publishes a reprint of some/all of this under the title The Boy Mechanic: Best Projects from the Classic Popular Mechanics Series.
