collins complete plumbing and heating
Great book, I am currently in the second year of my plumbing course and as the text books we are given are not that informative I purchased this one to gain a better understanding of hot water systems etc, this book explained to me with ease what the tutor has been trying to drum into me for weeks!!!

A word of warning on delivery in Scotland
I havent as yet received this because amazon use "home delivery network" for their deliveries instead of royal mail. As I work full time there is no one in my flat to take delivery. I was informed by a customer services person that they cant deliver to universities (my place of work) so I have to go to the depot, which is an 80 mile round trip!!! And the only time I can do that is a saturday and I have to be there before 12. For all its faults Royal Mail at least has local depots!!!
Sort it out Amazon, its a shocking 3rd part service and I will be ordering from other sources that do use royal mail in future.
