This may be a better topic for the Education and Training Category, but I was fortunate enough to pick up an original copy of William Pafford's "Handbook of Survey Notekeeping". The copyright is 1962.

A fellow poster was kind enough several years ago to mail me a photocopy of the book for reference. I am thinking about contacting the publisher to see if I could scan this in and make a PDF version available to the Surveying Community. I still want to go through my library and make a list, as I am almost always searching for reference books as one is mentioned here on this forum. I have collected a pretty nice collection over the 22 years I have been doing this.

Here is a picture of the book that arrived today. I think it is in pretty good condition. The plastic comb binding looks a little brittle, but that is easily replaced.

I have had that book since the 1970's. It's where I got the example of marking slope stakes that I posted in August of 2015. It has a lot of good examples of note keeping in field books.
