1.		Building Construction Illustrated, 2nd Edition from John Wiley & Sons Inc Price: $89.99 Customer Review: Smooth transaction and great price. The packaging, however, is a little too much. I am not really sure why a used book was shipped in a big box filled with bits and pieces of styro foams. It's a little messy.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		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.

10.		Wills' Mineral Processing Technology, Seventh Edition: An Introduction to the Practical Aspects of Ore Treatment and Mineral Recovery from Butterworth-Heinemann Price: $49.97 Customer Review: Updated by Tim Napier-Munn and a few of his mates from JK Tech, this is a standard bread and butter volume for anyone in the minerals processing area.

11.		Fashioning Technology: A DIY Intro to Smart Crafting (Craft: Projects) from O'Reilly Media Price: $17.78 Customer Review: I'm very happy I bought this book.

14.		Polymer Chemistry: An Introduction from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $56.71 Customer Review: This is a good Polymer Chemistry Textbook. It is very informative. However, it isn't the most exciting read. The book is completely black and white, making it hard to read for extended periods of time. I would recommend this textbook for the quality of it's information.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials from Taylor & Francis Price: $52.89 Customer Review: This book is just plain awful. How can a book that's been through 5 editions and 30+ years be this bad? Typographical errors are rampant, in the text, the equations, and even a few figures. The notation is inconsistent both across and within chapters. This could all be dismissed as a superficial... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $30.00 Customer Review: The book is in OK condition. The seller didn't state that it was written in, nor did they state the extent of the corner damage. Nevertheless, still perfectly readable and acceptable. It would have just been nice to be notified of its minor damages before purchase.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Laser Material Processing from Springer Price: $54.36 Customer Review: This is the best material processing book for lasers that I know of. A good starter and reference book. The only other good source of reading that I know of are the LIA publications. Most importantly it describes in a surprisingly clear way the properties of a beam as they relate to processing, and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

21.		Make: Technology on Your Time Volume 17 from Make Price: $7.00 Customer Review: A whole issue dedicated to Steampunk, a very artistic engineer. Check out the wimshurst machine project	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Electronic Properties of Materials from Springer Price: $56.98 Customer Review: I am taking Solid State Physics and my professor recommended this book along with 9 others separate from the text required for class.

I have the older version with a red cover but... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Thin Film Materials: Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution from Cambridge University Press Price: $165.00 Customer Review: I like this book for it is a rather comprehensive treatment of the subject, and is written in a clear prose. However, one should realize that the focus is solely on the mechanical behavior of thin films, which could be attributed to the authors background and research interests. Virtually, all... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems, Second Edition from CRC Press Price: $176.47 Customer Review: The book is a very good for reference and introduction. I did not like having the drawings in the back of the book. It made it a pain to have to jump back and forth to see what was being explained. The other was not having direct cross referencing points for all statement referencing the code. The... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Going Global: The Textiles And Apparel Industry from Fairchild Pubns Price: $70.12 Customer Review: I needed this book for class and naturally was buying it last minute.

26.		American Plastic: A Cultural History from Rutgers University Press Price: $14.25 Customer Review: Meikle produces a book, a text, really, that is almost imperative to every student and instructor of Sociology or Cultural History. The book serves as more than a technological manifest of an object's history, as many tend to do, and exposes a critical part of our modern lifestyles. Few can ignore... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Modern Electrochemistry 2A: Fundamentals of Electrodics from Springer Price: $39.37 Customer Review: First things first: this book, as the other two books in the series, are about electochemistry, not analytical electrochemistry. That is, in this volume in particular, the fundamental aspects of electrode reactions (that is heterogeneous electron transfer) are covered. This is not a book on... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Polymer Extrusion, 4th Edition from Hanser Gardner Publications Price: $79.96 Customer Review: Let me preface this review by saying that this book is meant for those with an engineering degree or strong technical background. The text quickly moves into derivations for the analysis of extrusion equipment; and without this background one will easily be lost in the math. That being said, it has... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Mechanics Of Composite Materials (Materials Science & Engineering Series) from CRC Press Price: $84.50 Customer Review: This book is just the bible for the stress analyst working with composites. A must have at your bookshelf.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Secrets of Building a Plastic Injection Molding Machine from David J Gingery Price: $15.95 Customer Review: Gingery books are always good do it your self books. Of course you needs tools as you would to build any machine. Small injection molding machines go for about $1000. To build one you will have to buy some stuff like the heating cartridges and steel for the parts. Half the fun of a Gingery book is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
