N/A

It is a very useful book. Im a mechanical designer yet all the manufacturing engineers around me want to steal it from me. I'm obligated to share it with everyone on my team now.

Its great that it shows many machinist tools and gives a name to everything. This helps when deciding how to design a part for manufacturing. I also like that it explains a lot about materials and dimensions.

As a mechanical designer, I would add a section like Geometric D&T but for welding symbols and engineering drawing interpretations.
