Not good
This book is full of spelling and grammar errors. There are ~15 examples of pipe failures (complete with photos and some background info) but the rest was not very educational. I suppose it depends on what you are looking for....but if you are looking for a book that provides extensive information on methods for failure analysis of plastic pipes, this is not the book...

This review is from: Plastic Pipe Systems: Failure Investigation and Diagnosis (Kindle Edition)
This book discusses in an honest manner the potential for failures in plastic pipes which include those made from resins of polyester. Polymer concrete. pvc, hdpe and fiberglass pipes are illustrated and discussed in a manner that brings focus to some more recent materials and how they can fail. Discussions of limitations due to polymer chain linkage deterioration with time and under stress provide insight in to limitations that must be considered for comparitive selection of pipes and understanding the performance life limitations. Construction techniques that may enhance performance or cause accelerated failure provide important guidance for installation specification requirements.
