It's not Hemmingway, but.... July 10, 2008 Brian D. Griffith (Shawnee, Kansas) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
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.
LARGER PRINT OK March 1, 2009 putput 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The larger print is great! Lots of info and much easier to read and find info, plus it is thumb indexed. I also own the pocket companion and the guide which are not the large print and I do like the large print edition with the hard bound cover.
Comprehensive and complete. February 23, 2010 Wayne Palmer (Milwaukee, WI) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is THE engineering reference for the manufacturing industry.
It is very useful to have a version that is readable for those of us whose vision is fading and the only drawback is it comes with the requisite weight and size penalty (which is of note when you are purchasing it as a student and hauling it around to classes in a pile of other books).
Still I am pleased with the completeness of the book.
Every engineer I know has a copy of this on his or her desk.
Great reference for those who work with metals September 10, 2008 Richard Krieger (Oklahoma) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.

Considered to be the Bible for anyone associated with mechanical engineering.
An excellent publication,highly reccomended.
