My curiosity got the best of me and I gave in and bought a copy. Original copyright is 1975...
Is anything in here still useful? 47 years is a long time.
Thanks!

It is not bad for sure. It's presentation is very old fashioned and some things became obsoleet (like installing a bowed single way truss rod), but several things are still valid. Bridge making, string tension and intonation.
The parts of crack repair are interesting and give ideas how to approach.
A classic must have.
(Hmmm, 1975, when the air and sex weren't dirty yet)

I'm with Herman on this one. It has a lot of excellent information. It is true that the presentation may feel dated, but for me that is something of a plus - reading through Teeter is like finding secret treasure! I'm not sure if the book is still in print but it is certainly available used for a reasonable price.

Herman - s** has always been dirty.
BTW Ken Cierp was a big Teeter fan also.
