VERY GOOD BOOK, it will answer ALL your questions about welding blueprints. I am an engineer who wanted to learn how to make welding drawings. I have some background in welding, but none is needed for this book. I believe welders would like the book too, (like the title states) as the first sections of the book goes over engineering drawings and explains them simply and thoroughly. Lets hope the author/s of this book write some more books on other subjects, I am so tired of books that succeed in only confusing you.

Well worth the money.

I needed this book for a class I am taking. This book has so many errors I stopped counting. There is an average of 3 errors per chapter. Luckily for me my instructor does not grade the work from the book and makes up his own tests. We are assigned work from the book and then go over it class. This is how we realized all of the errors. We (as a class) only consult the answer key when it is absolutely necessary. Just keep this in mind as you go through the class associated with this book.

This is the only blueprint book I have experience with. I really hope this is the worst, because it is so indescript. Many of the review questions are unanswerable and poorly worded. It often leaves you thinking WTF? This book makes better kindling that reading material.
