Dear Woodworkers

I am looking for any book on Roofing squares. There have been a number available in the past, but I don't seem to be able to find one here in melbourne.
I know that Stanley used to give them away and alex smith wrote one in the 20s or 30s.

Such as this

I also have a booklet that came with my "Johnson 7" Aluminium Rafter Angle Square", which covers alot of roofing stuff.

yes,
Thats what I think will do the trick.
do you want to part with yours and if so how much do you ,want for it.
If you want to keep it that's cool. Thank for the Lee valley site.
