This reference is incredibly well thought out.
It is complete and comprehensive while being concise with just the information you want at a glance.
Pros
Well organized, and planned right down to the pages being coated to be grease proof so you can actually use it in the shop with out messing it up.
Cons
Not really a fault, but as my work teeters between metric and imperial I would love an offering for a single reference containing both.
So good I had to buy a copy for my Father-in-law

Excellent Publication
December 30, 2020
By: Tim Ellis, Steam Engine Maker (COLCHESTER, United Kingdom)
Comments
Being in engineering for the last 30 years, and having made about 15 steam engines, in the UK we have the Zeus book, and various other publications, from people like dormer etc. This book has the LOT in one place, no need now for many (greasy) books.
Pros
Clear, well written and easy to use.
Cons
For those of us in the UK, who live in a metric world, but sometimes (actually frequently) have to source things from the US, who do stuff in inches, it would help if the carbide insert nomenclature was repeated alongside the metric nomenclature. I appreciate this would add more pages but its useful for those in countries who sadly no longer have a toolmaking industry. Send me the extra pages as a PDF if you like.
Wood joinery and stresses needed
December 26, 2020
By: William (Covington, United States)
Comments
The black book is amazing, I just wish it had joinery methods/ stresses of joinery methods for wood in it. (As seen on pg. 164 for plastics adhesive) It isn't used much, but it is needed to ensure that the book is the best.
Pros
Incredibly thorough.
Cons
Not much.

Excellent data charts. It’s all here
Pros
Handy size easy to find information. No need for multiple books on your bench. You only need one book, the black book.
Cons
Maybe add some basic common thread sizes, depth of thread, effective sizes etc.
And maybe some common G and M codes.
