5.0 out of 5 stars plumbers review, April 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters (Trade/Tech Math) (Paperback)

First found out about this book while I was studying for my Journeyman Plumbers license exam.Found it at the library and was so impressed I ordered it from the publisher. Contains very much usefull information.Explains all about simple and compound offsets. Contains all the formulas you will need for performing plumbing tradework.I have the fourth addition and still consider it one of my best resources. I recommend it to anyone who is studying for their Journeyman or Master Plumbers exams or for anyone who would like to learn the professional way of performing tradework.

The book was in good shape as expected. Besides not being able to track the shipment as with UPS, it arrived only within the given time table, so all was well.
