Nice solid book with lots of useful information
Pros
Oil-proof pages, opends flat, rounded corners
Cons
It would be better if the covers extended to the width of the tabs when affixed - otherwise the are damaged when put into and out of pocket; it would be useful if Tapping Drill Sizes were provided for different percentages of engagement; it would be helpful to have an Alphabetical Index as well as the Table of Contents.
A staggering amount of useful info!

Amazing amount of info, more than I expected. I hope I’ll use it all!
Pros
Compact and will save looking online. Bookmarks will be handy
Cons
Very small. Almost too small for very speedy looking up. But I’ll get to know it and get faster at finding info in there.
Great reference material

As I am only an apprentice and new to fitting and turning, at first glance this book has an overwhelming g amount of information in it. As yet I don’t have much use for majority of the info in this book but I’m sure I will in time.
Pros
Packed with info, good quality construction of book. Lots of useful conversions and equivalence charts and info for drilling.
Cons
Don’t know what most of the stuff in this book is yet hahaha
