I have a 1917 version that I downloaded from somewhere, list price for the bound book was 50 cents at the time!
If the current versions are the same it's a decent little book, especially for people just starting out. Gives an overview of many of the basic hand tools and measuring instruments one might typically use.

Indeed, although aside from carbide and digital there's lots of things that are unchanged. How to read a vernier scale, how to hold a micrometer properly, what are the standard sizes of Morse tapers, how to position or hold work effectively, etc. I don't know, to me that sort of information is timeless.
