The book referenced here is missing a couple of pages, but contains a wealth of 'non project' information.

It might restore the balance for those who don't like the 'hobbyist' titles.

It's a real shame that there has been so much criticism of the book here. I really enjoyed it and appreciate the time and effort that went into writing it. At £7 a time HH's hardly living it up on the Costa del Sol on the proceeeds I'll be bound. Incidentally I'm also a huge fan of HH's website as a go-to resource for all manner of stuff.

I'm with Neil though, and welcome project descriptions in a book such as this as a means to learn new skills and acquire new tools and tooling.

When I bought my mill I bought the two HH books on offer; "Milling a Complete Course" WPS #35 and "The Milling Machine and Accessories, Choosing and Using" WPS #49.

The newer book #49 is more up to date and glossier. It is also a more a "How to" guide with fewer projects which may appeal to the "non-projecters" whereas #35 has more projects as the OP says. So, I'd suggest buying the book you think matches your style best but unless you can and are prepared to write a better one then... .

Michael, just FYI (and everyone else's), I received a reply from Hathitrust within 48 hours, which was a welcome surprise. It may be a somewhat pro-forma response, but it is courteous and has the person's name and email address included. Copied below:
