4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Book, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Steam Plant Operation (Hardcover)
The book is good to see lots of pictures of steam plant equipment and a bit is given explaining what the equipment does, but I found the "Steam & Diesel Power Plant Operators Examinations" book much more powerful to pass fireman and engineers exams, including employment interviews! I suggest to buy both of these great books!

Steam Plant Operation,
By Paul G. Logan (Braintree,, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steam Plant Operation (Hardcover)
The best book on the market for training of power plant operators. Revisions keep up with the field. Have been using this book for training power plant opreators to optain their Massachusetts Stationary Engineers and Firemen's licenses, for over 15 years.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steam Plant Operation (Kindle Edition)
This is a review on the KINDLE version of this book. I am using the Kindle DX, I was looking forward to getting Steam Plant Operation in kindle format so I wouldnt have to lug around this hefty tome. I was saddened and dismayed to find you could not skip through chapters or even select a chapter to jump to from the table of contents. you would have to either type in the page you wanted, or go one page at a time... for the price they are asking it is simply not worth it. I quickly returned the book for a refund. I'll stick to my paper copy for now. I give the paper version of this book 4.5 stars.
