Well worth it / / 2008-02-08
I've been putting off for some time buying the latest version ( I think I had 23 ) I needed some information so I finally broke down and got it, I'm glad I did, I also got the CD rom which comes in very handy if you use a computer at all. It's in pdf format which makes it text searchable, no more flipping through pages. Very nice.

Large Print Machinery's Handbook / / 2007-12-27
Very happy with the book. The large print edition was a plus. It's small print to begin with so the large print is a must. The CD is a great companion and also a must. This book is a must for those who want to know everything about machining. Very happy with my purchase and the Amazon price was very reasonable. Thank you!

Extremely Helpful / / 2006-11-06
This book is extremely helpful for mechanical design. It has all of the hard-to-find information needed for detailed part design, like screw thread specifications, gearing information, fastener dimensions and ratings...it even has charts describing necessary clearances for different kinds of wrenches. This is one of the most helpful books I have.

I highly recommend the large print version...I think they should call it the 'still-small-but-readable' version, and the regular one should be called the 'really-really tiny print' version. The CD is just a pdf of the book. It is handy because the pages are linked directly to the table of contents, so it is easy to find things. Also, it allows digital markup so you can highlight and makes notes. If you are involved anywhere in the process of design or machining you should own a copy of this book.

Acrobat 7 is supported; patch required / / 2006-08-15
Industrial Press has a notice on their website that Acrobat 7 will now work as long as it is patched to version 7.0.5. Just an update from the earlier review which states that Acrobat 7 is not supported at all, which it probably wasn't when it was written.

the MH cd and adobe / / 2005-09-09
The book is of course excellent. However the cd is anoying because the authors somehow did not make it upwardly compatable with the newest version of adobe reader (7.x). Therefore one needs to remove the latest version of adobe reader and install version 6.x . The two versions of adobe reader are not allowed to exist on a windows system at the same time.
