Please see photos before buying this book

ByG. Jameson February 22, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Update 7/30/12
I have received my new copy with the improved paper, and have uploaded a photo of the same page as my previous book with the lesser quality paper. You can see that there is a significant improvement in the opacity of the paper and a reduction in the amount of bleed through from the following pages.

Is it as good as my 24th edition? It's close, but no.

Is it good enough for daily use? Probably.

The text has gone from unreadable in the first printing to tolerable in the second. I've spent quite a bit of time today looking at various pages, and while distracting, the text from following pages doesn't completely overwhelm what you are trying to read. We shall see over time, but for the moment the larger text wins out over the tiny text in my 24th edition. The large print book will be kept with me at work and my old book will go in my toolbox at home.

Use your own judgement before buying this book. Take a look at the photos I have uploaded and see for yourself if the bleed through is more distracting than you can accept.

I've changed the number of stars in the review from one to three. The book should still be more readable considering its use.

==============================
Original review:
Twenty years ago, I bought the 24th edition after graduating from college. It has served me well over the years but I wanted to give myself a treat this year and buy the updated version. I went with the large print since it was going to be my last one, and I wanted to make it easier on my eyes to read it later in life.

I had read that the pages were thinner in the last few editions making it more difficult to read, but I decided to buy it anyway. How bad could it be? Well, I found out how bad. With luck, Amazon will publish my photo on the product page and you can see for yourself how thin the pages are. You can see the back of the page clearly, the front and back of the next page, and sometimes even the next page! This book is vastly more difficult to read than the 24th edition I have, and despite having some additional information I would like to have at my fingertips and the larger type, I just can't keep this book.

What good is a reference book if you can't read it? What good is having super thin and super delicate pages on a book that you will use the most?

Please, do yourself a favor and find a good used book. The information hasn't changed much, and your eyes will thank you.

Thin paper issues

ByJimPon April 26, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Content is always going to be 5 starts, no doubt about that.
It is the same darn thin pages that made me give this a 2 star.

One would think after the fiasco with thin pages in the previous version, Industrial Prints would have figured not to use the same thin paper in their latest 30th edition of the book... This isn't the case. I've attached a picture of the same page used in a review in the 29th edition of this book titled "Please see photos before buying this book" by G. James on February 22, 2012

It is evident that the pages of this 30th edition is as bad as the old version of the 29th edition.

Paper makes it useless - improved (edit)

Bysykosyson April 23, 2012

Format: Hardcover

This is not a review on the content, like the other reviewer, I am appauled by the paper. The bleed from the other print (backside and next page) litterally gives you a headache, and makes it impossible to quickly scan anything. I would have happily paid an extra $5 for readable paper. As it is, it's not even useful as toilet paper, and I've bought the 28th toolbox edition to replace it.

**Edit** I have adjusted my review, because as promised, the publisher sent me a new copy of this edition. You can still see the text from the reverse of the page, and the page following, but they're sufficiently faint that the eye can ignore it. This new edition is about 3/8" thicker than the previous edition. I have not given it five stars because I would have preferred slightly thicker paper. It can be a little distracting when there are opposing graphs.

Given that this book is so indispensable, Charging an extra $5 for it, and having opaque paper, would make it perfect.

TERRIBLE quality

ByBrad K.on February 26, 2012

Format: Hardcover

WHAT is the deal with Industrial Press and this edition? Machinery's Handbook is THE gold standard in a single source for just about any topic mechanical. They have put together a fantastic compilation, and has gained the reputation as being the best of the best. Why then, would Industrial Press print this edition with such utterly cheap, ridiculous paper that makes it very difficult to read, with the ink bleeding through from the other side, as well as being able to even see the following pages because the paper grade is so thin and cheap. They really blew it....DON'T buy this edition, previous editions are much better in quality.
