I've taught a quarter-long Manufacturing Processes course out of this text (and its predecessor) for four years, and plan to continue using it. This text presents a great overview of a wide variety of processes, which is exactly what I'm trying to achieve. It also goes into reasonable depth with many processes. I do not attempt to cover the entire text in one quarter, however -- I use roughly half.

When asked on end-of-term evaluations whether they agreed with the statement, "The textbook was valuable in my learning experience," students consistently rated this text 4.1/5.0. The average score campus-wide for textbooks is 3.6/5.0. Anecdotally, the handful of students who actually bother reading the text come up to me and say, "It really is interesting and easy to read."

Yes, there are some errors which have been frustratingly carried over from the 5th edition, but you catch many of them with a first reading. They knock it down from 5- to 4-stars, but I'm still really happy with the text.

i used this book for MIT qualifying exams and it was a good overview. it covers quite a bit in terms of processes...and not very mathy. a few errors in there, but good reference overall.
doesnt deal with lean manufacturing or six sigma type stuff really.

this will break your back if you have to carry it around while studying (like i did).

If you are buying this book for a class, good luck. I still remember the day I took my comprehensive final over its 1000+ pages. So much fun! The book itself provides a surface-deep discussion of a million manufacturing topics, so though it is long and poorly written at times, it will still be a good reference book. Stinks for learning out of, though.

Solid book that teaches the basics of the manufacturing process. Some sections are lengthy, while other sections are split into different parts depending on the process.

Arrived on time and was as described in the ad. It saved me from paying more at my local bookstore.

received this book in excellent condition from the sender; very technical information and dry to read, but exactly what i needed for my Manufacturing Processes class

Book is in great condition and I got in it a timely manner and it was way cheaper than the book store.

I selected next day delivery, and it came as scheduled.

Book was fine with no problems, except slight dent on the side of the hard cover, probably due to handling. But that doesn't really bother me, so it's okay.

This textbook is in very good condition, and I got it for a very low price compared to retail. I would highly recommend this seller for your engineering textbook needs.

The service was very fast. I got the book within a week and a half. The book was in great condition. Very pleased with the transaction.
