Dissappointed...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lubrication for Industry (Hardcover)
This book is a basic guide to understand what lubrication is, and an introduction to the terms employed on this subject. There's no useful level of detail for a person that has been more than three months involved in this area in practice.I disagree with the Editorial Review that describes it as a detailed set of explanations about many items involved in the lubrication process in industry. A basic description is not what I've always understood as a detailed explanation. This review is what made me buy the book; now I know this is not the book for anyone who wants a medium degree of clear information.

This review is from: Lubrication for Industry (Hardcover)
As someone without a trained mechanical background, I found the book extremely approachable, entertaining and understandable. Highly recommended.
