1.		Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements: Embracing All Those Which Are Most Important in Dynamics, Hydraulics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Steam Engines... from Astragal Press Price: $12.97 Customer Review: The copyright on the original book is, of course, expired, so several publishers have printings available. This one uses what seems like pretty cheap paper; more significantly, the pages are printed at an unusually small size - I have to believe it's been reduced from the original. The text is on... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications (3rd Edition) from Newnes Price: $18.70 Customer Review: I have been searching for years for a book on drives which explains the subject intuitively without resorting to complex mathematics. This book fits the bill perfectly. I finally learned drives....kudos to Mr. Hughes!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, Fourth Edition from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $53.82 Customer Review: I was introduced to this book by a professor in grad school, and have used it ever since. In my collection of a dozen or so mechanism books, this is the one I reach for first. The book covers more or less every conceivable mechanism. Other books may have more mechanisms, but they tend to be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $61.66 Customer Review: As like others, I also recommend this text for it's overall content and subject matter. This is a helpful reference book for daily engineering applications. But - users should be aware that there are some basic mistakes in the book. The book is very user friendly to locate formulas and items.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam, 12th Edition from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $174.43 Customer Review: Lindeburg has done a great job at pulling together everything you'll see on the PE Mechanical exam. The format of the 12th edition is better than the 11th. The 11th included extra problems at the end of each chapter. Though this is helpful for studying, it clutters up the book and adds extra pages... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.	[no image]	Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning from Goodheart-Willcox Co Inc.,U.S. Price: $29.00 Customer Review: I was specifically looking for detailed information on how to adjust a commercial dehumidifier, and the book just had short bits and pieces on those units. No real specifics on how to set up the pressures and charges for dehumidifiers. Otherwise, the book is fabulous. Great diagrams and loads... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Small Gas Engine Repair from Tab Books Price: $50.00 Customer Review: Although I am far from expert in small gas engine repair, I just can't understand all the positive buzz about this book. It is far from a reference work, being barely 200 pages of text, in small format. Frankly, other than some basic pointers on piston, crank, and valve replacement -- which are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Introduction To Heat Transfer from Wiley Price: $81.07 Customer Review: While IDBL does start off very slowly, by the time chapter three starts it really hits it's stride. The book contains a surprising amount of information compared to how readable it is (at least compared to BSL, the long time standard for the subject), and the examples and derivations are relevant... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.	[no image]	Fundamentals of Solar Energy Conversion (Addison-Wesley series in mechanics and thermodynamics) from Addison Wesley Longman Publishing Co Customer Review: The book was exactly as listed, brand new, great condition.

13.		Basic Machines and How They Work from Dover Publications Price: $5.11 Customer Review: It's astounding that a book titled "Basic Machines and How They Work" has a cover of three gears meshed at three points -- an impossible configuration if one expects the gears to actually be able to move. In the new 2008 updated edition, the gears featured on the cover are locked against each other;... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance, Third Edition from VeloPress Price: $73.62 Customer Review: Si bien hay mucha mecánica es muy simple pero desactualizada, lo único rescatable son los tips para corregir las posiciones de sillín, potencia, manillar, tamaño del cuadro, etc.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam: A Companion to the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual, 12th Edition from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $55.85 Customer Review: This is an absolute must have for anyone taking the Mechanical PE. This (and the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual) is the only thing I used to study for the exam and passed the first time. It shows the solutions to all the practice problems in the MERM and works them out in great detail.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Mechanics of Materials from Prentice Hall Price: $71.30 Customer Review: Be warned that this book is on backorder. It has been 15 days and it hasn't even shipped yet.

18.		Product Design and Development from McGraw-Hill/Irwin Price: $64.90 Customer Review: This book is required reading for my class "New Product Development" at California College of the Arts and I must say that it covers all of the basic steps. The examples that it gives for specific stages of the process of creating a new product are very basic, but it allows you to use them as a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers 11th Edition from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $124.00 Customer Review: Very useful book. Better than a stack of old college textbooks.

Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Welding from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $18.70 Customer Review: This book is probably best suited for a junior high school beginning level reader. It is incredibly overpriced for such little information.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Gears & Gear Cutting from Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc. Price: $6.96 Customer Review: This book is a bargain. It is not a substitute for the bigger and more costly books for a professional engineer specializing in gearboxes, I suppose, but I think the average hobby metalworker will actually get more out of this one. It is intelligent without being terribly technical or theoretical.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

26.		Engineering Mechanics - Dynamics (10th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $49.99 Customer Review: I don't know why this book gets negative comments. I admit that the derivation of equation is quite challenging, but it is because the students at this level are usually not proficient with calculus yet. The virtue of this textbook is a lot of examples. There are ALWAYS 2~3 examples for EACH... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		High Pressure Boilers from Amer Technical Pub Price: $71.65 Customer Review: I recently upgraded my MN boilers license. This book was instrumental in getting my 1b license.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach with Student Resource DVD from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $110.00 Customer Review: This book is sufficient for two semester-long courses in undergraduate thermodynamics. The preface says that calculus and freshman physics are sufficient prerequisites, but I think courses in statics and chemistry wouldn't hurt either considering the depth of material. The book's explanations... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer from Wiley Price: $70.08 Customer Review: It was better than I expected.
