1.0 out of 5 stars
Unedited overpriced rough draft,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Fire Pump Operations (Paperback)
I don't understand how this "work in progress" ever made it to a second edition. It has never been proofed or else the editing staff is undereducated and overpaid. It is filled with errors, duplications, inconsistent measurements, incomplete definitions, incorrect formulas, misplaced decimal points in formulas and in text, misspellings, contradictory info etc. I read this "collection of pages" 4 times for a promotional exam. It took that many readings to understand and discern incorrect information from correct information. I have never read a book more poorly edited than this one.

NEVER RECIEVED THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have tried to contact seller to no avail. Contact Amazon and get some big run around about why they just can't instantly refund my money. Was a real bind without the book. I will NEVER buy another thing from Amazon again.
