This book is one of several I considered for an in-plant class to teach Blueprint reading. It is full of examples, questions and tests.

This review is from: Blueprint Reading for the Machine Trades - Revised (6th Edition) (Paperback)

This is an excellent text for those who need to understand and interpret technical drawings. The examples are from "real" manufacturing drawings rather than something that has been created for teaching. The 7th edition has been updated to reflect the latest Y14.5 standard changes.

For teaching, a web site with solutions and supplemental instructional material is available and very useful.
