5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger is Better!, June 8, 2000

By	Jesse Lochhead (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Machinery's Handbook Large-Print Edition (Machinery's Handbook (Large Print)) (Hardcover)

This book is easier on the eyes thanks to the larger print and builds bigger muscles due to its larger size! As usual this book has all the necessary info to get my mechanical engineering design tasks complete only it's improved.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not Hemmingway, but...., July 10, 2008

By	Brian D. Griffith (Shawnee, Kansas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's definitely a wealth of information / data in this book, 75% of which I will probably never use given the nature of my profession. I'm giving this book 5 stars because so far it's lived up to my expectations. I could probably find some of the same information I need on the internet, but it's handy to have so much of it all right here in this handy albeit rather large book.

I can see, as another reviewer pointed out, that this might not be best suited for hostile environments. It's served me well so far at my clean but cluttered desk, and undoubtedly will continue to hold up for many years. I'm not sure that I'd be willing to pay extra for a bombproof version.

As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes when I need a quick break from staring at the computer monitor, I find myself randomly flipping through the pages of my Machinery's Handbook in search of something interesting. So far, it hasn't let me down.

This won't make it on anybody's fast-paced action/adventure bestseller list, but it's clearly an invaluable resource for the mechanically inclined.
