Excellent reference in a small, useable format.
Pros
More useful information at your fingertips than constantly going online.
Cons
Minor. For an old feller the writing gets a tad small on some. But nothing wearing my readers can't fix.

Very well laid out, easy to read, great topics. Great contrast to Machinery's Handbook which is hard to use and difficult to find info. I think this will get a lot of use. I've had it a day and already used it. I can find info in it quicker than the internet most of the time.
Pros
Good selection of information, relevant to most users. Great layout and I love the use of colors to highlight information and make it easier to read, especially for those of us that are getting older.
Cons
There will always be information that is not in it, due to it's scope.

Best Book for the workshop

By: Colin O'Mullane (Richardson, Australia)
Comments
This is literally the best book I've got for the workshop.
Got it for Christmas and I've used it numerous times already.
The information is invaluable and the production of the book is great!
Pros
The book is built to last
Handy size
So much information!
This is a must have for every gearhead out there. is full of information, nothing is missing and portable anywhere, thanks to pocket size. Pages are waterproof or "oilproof". Wire-o binding system has its advantages and disadvantages, transportation may bend and break, the reading is exceptional, given that the book will fold in on itself.
Pros
Full of info, charts, tips and image. Waterproof and "oilproof" pages. Pocket size. Inch and metric system.
Cons
---> There is no translated version in Italian <--- Wire-o binding system can be improved.
