This is a basic guide appropriate for a beginner. There are a few more-detailed and comprehensive guides that will appeal to those beyond the "beginner" category however - but this guide is a good starting place. I don't know what the deal is with the astronomical price on this edition - opt for the more recent addition for around $19.

My father loved the book. He is a collector of anyique stationary engines. he likes it as well as the other books he already has. He explained this one had some valuable information that is not available anywhere else

We had borrowed this book (1996 publication date) through our inter-library loan and were very impressed with the clarity and detail of the pictures. When we could purchase a new copy through amazon.com we were very pleased--until the book arrived. The pictures in the "updated" copy are not clear and details are difficult to see. The price listings in the back area are not updated at all. The back cover has only one engine shown but inside the cover it states that there are two. All in all it seems to be a poorly done copy. If we had seen this copy before purchasing it we would have left it in the store. The service from amazon.com was excellent but this book is very disappointing.
