Waste of money,
By
This review is from: Standard Aircraft Handbook for Mechanics and Technicians (Paperback)
I have an A&P license and bought this book for my son. It is a good example of quality sacrificed to feed someone's bottom line. Illustrations and figures in this book are of such poor quality that they appear to have been reduced on a copy machine, causing important details to disappear into blotches of ink. Reference tables have been reduced to the point where they are unreadable without a magnifying glass. There is no section on welding. If this is the only reference handbook on the market, then you're stuck with it -- but I sent mine back. Don't buy it.

This review is from: Standard Aircraft Handbook for Mechanics and Technicians (Paperback)
The book is a good basic treatise that capsulizes the three rather voluminous documents put out for the FAA administrered AMT work.
