Rare material. Moderate cover, corner wear. Pages very good, clean; no writing in text body.

This working knowledge is indispensable to production, yet informally learned and too often unrecognized. Workers can utilize this knowledge to carry on the production of useful goods and services going beyond standard labor practices of simply cutting costs and increasing profits.

Few labels, stamps, card pocket. 202 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.
