Looking for Edith Clarke books 1

[surge_arrester]

Hello,

I'm looking for Circuit analysis of a-c power systems vol. 1 and 2 books. Tried searching on ebay, amazon, and thriftbooks but found none. Are any bookstores that still have these books on their shelves?

No idea how good those reprints are, but my two original volumes, probably 15 years (vol 1) and 10 years (vol 2) old combined cost over $600, so both volumes at less than $100 could be a good value for the content. But if you want the originals you'll just have to search regularly.

If you're interested, but not planning to own, there's always the library.

@davidbeach thank you for the reply. I had a bad experience with buying the reprints; they contain missing pages and/or errors. I will be looking for the original copies.

@Gr8blu I'm building my library of classical books on power system and new books containing the update on power system technologies. Borrowing from the library is not the option for now but thank you for your suggestion.

You're probably just going to have to be patient and search for them every week or two. Be prepared to buy them separately and probably not a matched set.

Why should I buy the 2 volumes separately?

 

[davidbeach]

Just seems to be the thing. When I bought Vol 1 nobody was selling Vol 2. When I bought Vol 2 nobody was selling Vol 1. It's up to you, but if you wait for a matched set from a single seller you may never buy either.

I believe they are in the public domain at this point (unless you really want a hard copy):
