Great reference for those who work with metals September 10, 2008
This is a great reference book. It has all the information a student or experienced professional metalworker needs.
Not much of a plot for late nite reading though.

There's definitely a wealth of information / data in this book, 75% of which I will probably never use given the nature of my profession. I'm giving this book 5 stars because so far it's lived up to my expectations. I could probably find some of the same information I need on the internet, but it's handy to have so much of it all right here in this handy albeit rather large book.
I can see, as another reviewer pointed out, that this might not be best suited for hostile environments. It's served me well so far at my clean but cluttered desk, and undoubtedly will continue to hold up for many years. I'm not sure that I'd be willing to pay extra for a bombproof version.
As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes when I need a quick break from staring at the computer monitor, I find myself randomly flipping through the pages of my Machinery's Handbook in search of something interesting. So far, it hasn't let me down.
This won't make it on anybody's fast-paced action/adventure bestseller list, but it's clearly an invaluable resource for the mechanically inclined.
 A model engineer's view April 5, 2008

The product is certainly comprehensive and reasonably well made for reading in an 'office-friendly' environment, however I don't think that the book would survive too long in a workshop, the pages are too flimsey and I wouldn't expect them to last in such an environment. To overcome this dilema the publisher might consider packaging the CD with the book for the book price so that hobbists like me can have it available also on screen (e.g. a PC screen that is also being used for CNC operations in the workshop). In that case, why not just have the CD you might ask - I say there is nothing like being able to thumb through the real thing (the book) before hitting the workshop (to view the book on-screen). Notwithstanding, every model engineer should have this reference.

This book is easier on the eyes thanks to the larger print and builds bigger muscles due to its larger size! As usual this book has all the necessary info to get my mechanical engineering design tasks complete only it's improved.
