This was my textbook in my undergrad and which I cherish having around me. Gives a comprehensive treatment of kinematics uptill the level demanded for a practising mechanical engineer.

When it came to the other sections of the book, it seemed to lack much information. a prime example is in the gears section. if you did not read the book in chronological order, you would not understand later chapters. example if you were interested in worm gears, and you didn't read the spur gears section you would be completely lost. For this reason i would say it does not make a good book for reference as it may not be clear if you will need to do some hunting later.

Beyond the kinematics i would recommend RL Norton's book for machine designing.

The book arrived on time and in good order. It is new but I rated 4 out of 5 because there is dirt spot at the edges of the book at the top left side which looks like hand stain on the book otherwise, everything is fine. Thanks for the quick delivery.

This book will be very useful to prepare my classes in the undergraduate program about Mechanisms that I am the teacher.
Another book very important in this area isMechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery

The book was in pristine condition, well worth the price. I buy textbooks for school from various locations, and found that for this particular book Amazon had the lowest price. It was in new condition when I got it - I have no complaints.
