The "Echoes fro Oil Country" series are good to read. they are many different stories about early machine shops (steam powered) and how they had to go out and make/repair equipment. Most of these are from the very early American Machinist magazines going back to the 1800's. This books are on sale now at close out prices and are very cheap. i just ordered a dozen more books.

Here is another one of my favorites. The Wonders of Machinery Hall. This is a large book 8 1/2' x 11" with 192 pages. It walks you through the construction and the expositions of the Machinery Hall of the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893 ( Worlds Fair) it is full of old photos and drawings from a 127 years ago.?
