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.

The book has excellent information. It would be more valuable with the answers to chapter questions. Are they available?

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.

if you are a quality professional or engineer, this book is a must have for your work library.
it explains the standard for testing and measuring anything and everything, using all the latest equipment.
worth every pennyThe Quality Technician's Handbook (5th Edition)

Though valuable to me as a quality technician, I wish I had this book when I was a machinist.

An excellent reference for Quality Engineers or Technicians.
In addtion to that, this book covers almost everthing you need for ASQ Quality Technician Certification, I think this book is even better than the CQT Primer.

We would like a copy of the answers to questions in the quality tech handbook! Are they available if not please let us know!

Where can I purchase the answers to the questions?
