5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book on Composites MFG, August 29, 2007

This review is from: Advanced Composites Manufacturing (Hardcover)

This is a good book to read if you don't know much about composites mfg and you want an technical explanation of how to do it. I use the term technical loosley because it is not go to deep into the technical side but gives the technical aspects just enough justice to help understand if you knew nothing beforehand.
