Do Not Purchase!,
By
This review is from: Quality Technician's Handbook, The (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
Do not purchase this book. Buy the 4th edition instead! The verbaige is the same in both editions - almost, if not, identical. The 5th edition changes many of the figures out though - yet leaves the text reflecting the previous figure. If you try to understand by following the figures, your are lost. In many places the referenced dimensions in text are no longer in the figure as they were swapped out. The verbaige is good work. But for those who really want to understand - get the 4th edition. I compared both so that I could learn what I needed to understand. This issue occurs throughout the book, but is really bad throughout the last half of the book - where the subjects get more intense. I was severely disappointed that such distinguished reviewers (listed in preface) could miss so much.

This review is from: The Quality Technician's Handbook (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
The book has excellent information. It would be more valuable with the answers to chapter questions. Are they available?

The Gold Standard,
This review is from: Quality Technician's Handbook, The (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I have been a Quality professional for 25 years. If there is one thing I have learned is that high caliber training is the difference between a lean, effective Quality Management System and one that is costly and ineffective. I have been using Griffith's, "Quality Technician's Handbook" since the first edition. I have found no other textbook as complete or targeted to the quality practitioner as this one.
