I have obtained a copy of F. William Pafford's book, "Handbook of Survey Notekeeping". I have contacted Wiley and Sons publishing ,and they no longer own the copyright to this book. They suggested I contact the family to see about making the book available to the surveying community.
I have no interest in this endeavor, other than making a PDF version of this book available for download free of charge.
Does anyone know any heirs of Mr. Pafford?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy
Santiago Canyon College has a pdf version available online

Thank you James. I never stumbled across this while looking for the book. I am glad it is available. My sole desire was to make it available since it was so hard to locate.
Just had my admin staff print and bind half a dozen copies for our upcoming "Remedial Notekeeping" class
I plan on using some examples later this week. The weather forecast for the next week and a half is showing mostly rain. Time to do some training.
Thanks for sharing this guys.
Jimmy,
per the U.S. Copyright Office, Dorothy Pafford renewed the copyright in 1990. You can search the catalog at cocatalog.loc.gov (I just used the title. I'd post the result but connections time out.) I don't know how useful this is, given that you still have to find Dorothy, but I hope it helps.
Good luck,
Greg
Thanks Greg, since it is available online already, I will not go through that process, at least not now.

Personally, rather than the copy/bind fiasco you might want to consider these as an alternative to hard copies.
Only 8 gigs but sufficient for lots of stuff.

500 persons? Cripes, It's tough enough trying to handle14.
Just out of curiosity is your yearly revenue (gross) equivalent to $100K per employee? If it's not you are needlessly wasting money. 😉

$140,000 +-
We're close but I don't have 500, just 14. (And zero liability compared to what y'all do) 😎
