Power Swaging
(Technical Bulletins,
Volume IV),
D.R. Corbin
The Corbin Technical Bulletins. Volume IV, was first published in 1987. It was the first of the technical bulletins to be dedicated to a single subject, so it was named "Power Swaging". At that time, Corbin had developed the famous Hydro-Press, now the standard for custom bullet makers around the world and basis for over 350 commercial enterprises. But other products had evolved as well, and the experimentation, formulae, engineering and math involved is discussed in this book. Die strength, press design, hydraulic and mechanical systems, air (pneumatic) presses, and more, are discussed in detail. This is the first technical bulletin series to be re-written to reflect changes in design of Corbin products, and is the standard operating manual for the Corbin Hydro-Press and Hydro Junior. The current version was just published and contains updates to earlier work. It is a 6-inch by 9-inch 3-ring bound work with additional inserts, tables, and a section on bullet jacket drawing. Cat.No. TB-4. Also available on CD-ROM in e-book form, both in PDF and HTML formats, as TB-4-E.

D.R. Corbin
The Corbin Handbook has been re-written nine times over the past 37 years, and each time, it is updated with a number increment. These editions of the same book have changed format and size dramatically over the years.

(out of print)
D.R. Corbin
The first edition Stackpole publication, "Discover Swaging", was printed in only 5000 copies over 25 years ago. We found a few original, unread copies in a box in the back of our warehouse. They had the original color dust covers and were in perfect, new condition. These sold out completely, and are no longer available. Recent listings on various rare book web stores and auction sites show prices of $95-198 each for used condition books, and bids of $2500-$3500 for books in new condition, with a recent offer at $7770.02 for a new condition book with cover. Price depends heavily on condition among collectors. Corbin books are usually limited quantity editions.

Turning Ideas Into Income
Turning Ideas Into Income,
D.R. Corbin
Turning Ideas Into Income is a 224-page guide to turning your ideas into income, building your income into wealth, and arranging your business to support a good family life. It is filled with detailed information written over a twenty year time span of helping clients achieve success in the custom bullet field. You will be guided step by step through successful promotion and marketing techniques, counciled on partnerships, non-disclosure agreements, patents, and the dynamics of selling your ideas to existing manufacturers versus manufacturing them yourself. The simple (but not easy) lifestyle changes that allow almost anyone to improve their finances and to build toward a future of wealth and security are clearly outlined, with concrete examples of what to do, as well as how and when to do it. Interview results with businesses who are making the same product in the same market point out the critical differences in behavior, attitude, and technique that make one highly successful, and the other on the brink of failure.

The book is written with humor and filled with easily understood anecdotes to clearly illustrate the principles that have proven so successful. It is written from the viewpoint of a person who has spent a lifetime helping others build successful businesses, and also building a number of them personally for his own family and employees in a variety of fields (business software, computers, telecommunications, marine navigation and avionics, real estate and tool manufacturing). If you feel that you don't have the resources or marketing experience to turn a good idea into a source of income, or are concerned about your financial future, you can benefit from the well-proven wealth-building techniques spelled out in this book. Also available on CD-ROM as "DC-TIII". Click for prices

Y2K Book Solving Your Y2K Problem is a quick-reading book designed to help the non-technical computer user determine whether any date-related problems exist in using older software or hardware. It outlines the nature of the problem, why it came to be, how dates are stored in software, and how to test and fix Y2K errors. This is not a survival book, does not even discuss massive social upheavals or crashing airplanes, but is just a common-sense, down-to-earth instruction book for the person with an older desktop or laptop computer or useful legacy software to be used on a newer computer. Cat.No. Y2K.
