My comments

1. The type of copies in the acrobat files are not so clear, a little blard.
2. Working button shall be added in the table of contentents in the acrobat files to access the topics you wanted easily since this file contains more than a hundred pages.
3. All equations should be given a derivation; if it belongs to other references, please type the references below the equation

Don't waste your money on this book. It covers the topics much too lightly to be useful for anything besides assignments. Get something like the Machinery's Handbook instead.

The first edition was a required college text, but I kept using it so much the cover wore out! The chapters are well laid out, and the sample problems really bring the main concepts into the real world. Every colleague to whom I have shown this book has been impressed.
