I bought this book about 4 months ago for my Statics class at university. The book is well organized and the concepts as well as the examples are easy to follow. I have found it to be a very good reference especially if one is learning some of the concepts mentioned in the book from scratch. There is a sufficient number of examples and problems for one to digest the material.

On the downside, the book does not have the feel of a general purpose reference book and should be regarded as a textbook that is to be followed in order to learn the material inside.

My Comment About The Book: I think this is one of the best books interested in statics and mechanics. You can learn all subjects easyly and you can see lots of applications with very good examples. If you really want to learn buy it!

What more can be said. One of the few required engineering textbooks that is worth the price of admission.

This textbook contains a lot of good examples that are very helpful in solving the homework questions. The only thing I do not like is that I have found quite a few numerical errors for the price.
Overall, it is worth the investment.

I've made my way a few chapters through. It seems to know what it's talking about, but it is not a self teaching tool. Too bad I go to a school that doesn't teach . . . :(

I can not complain about the transaction. The book came as described by the seller, and delivered in decent time period. I will recommend him/her to any friend
