My opinion of Harris' book (as a beginning machinist/boilermaker) is
that is is probably a very useful book AFTER you know how to make
boilers.  For starters, I would recommend one of Kozo Hiraoka's books
-- he has made the most difficult and arcane procedures understandable
and feasable.

His books are available through Live Steam magazine -- they should be
reachable by phone, and if you have a charge card they can charge you
the price in dollars and the bank will do the conversion to Sterling.
