Customer Reviews

A solid reference for engineering purposes.
A very generalized, but complete manual covering all topics in the mechanical engineering field. All descriptions and explanations are kept brief and to the point. The explanations are just enough to make the reader understand the basics of what is needed for comprehension. The material is well organised. A good choice for a desktop reference book.

Most used book on the shelf.
Mark's offers the widest array of subjects of any of the handbooks I've used. It has consistently provided concise and readable summaries on any engineering topic. It is the most frequently used book on my shelf.

Rare display of knowledge. The best book there is!
