Generations of engineers, and not a few chemists and physicists either, have depended on this book as the standard reference for the properties of water.

This is the 1969 edition, and there is no more recent edition. Which should give you some idea of how definitively the authors described their subject.

Perhaps the only suggestion for improvement is for a CD version that has the tables in some XML format that can be easily integrated into a computer program. Notice that this is different from other books which might have a CD version that duplicates the contents of the hardcopy. There, the CD's main advantage might be the ability to have a comprehensive all-word index. Here, where most of the book are tables of numbers, that need is not really relevant. Instead, where there are tables, the best use of CD would be to hold XML formatted tables.
