Dodson and Nolan provide a sound reliability engineering survey. It may aslo be a helpful supplament for Six-Sigma folks. The volume also serves competently as a handbook and reference. Importantly, it includes an adequate bibilography so that the reader can easily pursue more specialized or more fundamental sources.

But ...

Neither the material nor the presentation distinguishes this book from its many competitors.

Too often the index enties have incorrect page numbers. In an age of computer automated indexing, mistakes of this kind really grate on a reader who expects more.

This is the best reliability book I have ever used. I work in a corporate development department and deals with design reliability and warranty on a daily basis. This book gets right to the point and is very useful for solving my problems. The Excel templates are especially useful. Not only does the book have useful examples, but the examples are solved using Excel. These examples are on the CD in the back of the book. My only complaint is the printing. The quality is not great; some of the graphs are fuzzy.
