Books 1 and 2 provide good photo-coverage of composite introduction and fabrication. Step-by-step details are clearly depicted from the making of simple parts to production tooling. All are done in non-technical, easy-to-understand fashion.

Be aware though, as stated on the covers, these books are in the "garage series" and are geared towards hands-on fabrication (as opposed to design). The emphasis is towards cosmetic rather than high-efficiency structural applications.

So if your interests are towards building hood scoops, cycle fenders, etc, you will find these books highly informative.

If your interest are towards aerospace or racecar structural composites where high-strength and light-weight are paramount, look elsewhere. Also, if you are looking for information on technical design of composites, look elsewhere.

I bought this item with Composite Materials: Fabrication Handbook #1. Both are well written in a logical fashion and there are a lot of full-coloured pictures which really help with the understanding of the topic. The book is written so that someone with no knowledge of composite materials can easily understand and get into their first project with some level of confidence.

My only complaint is that the text and corresponding pictures are at times not placed near to each other, so there is a good bit of page turning when one wants to get a visual to the text being read. Other than that, this book is a must have for the DIY enthusiast who would like to start working with composite materials.

I am looking forward to starting my first composite materials project within the next few weeks.

Don't hesitate to buy this book. It is needed, along with #1, to get a through enough understanding to get started on your own. Once you have these 2 books they are all you need to get started making parts in your garage. Great Buy!

Great intro to composites. I've learned a lot and introduced this series to couple of my friends. We actually used this book as a reference when we made carbon fiber wing for electric FSAE car as my senior design project.

These books start out fairly basic and build from there. There are a lot of pictures and the text is very descriptive. I have done some of the basic methods, and feel more confident that I could do the more advanced techniques having read these books. That being said, all tree books come up to a fairly hefty price tag, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

My husband is full of ideas of things he would like to do on his hobby list and this is one of them. He says the book was easy to understand and is quite sure that he could follow it to make what he would like.

This is a great book to extend your education from the first one. The subject matter now goes beyond just the very basics of what is composites and how to most easily use them to using composites in a variety of more complex situations.
