Standard Handbook of Machine Design, 3rd Edition

Excellent Book. Got a great deal on it as well.

always great to have a machine design book around, every mechanical inclined person should have one, Pleasure reading. :)

One of the best references a mechanical designer can have!

Shigley's Book has been in my personal library since I used it in college.I purchased the new edition for the office since my predecessor did not leave much of a reference library. I find myself using it regularly since there is a wealth of great information between its covers.The transaction was great. The research process was relatively easy with Amazon's website. The order was processed efficiently and the product was received well within the estimated delivery window. It was securely boxed and in great condition.Thanks for a wonderful mail-order experience.

I own both Shigley's books on Machine Design, Mechanical Engineering Design (which I would rate 5/5) and this handbook. I find this handbook is very extensive in the topics it covers, just about everything pertaining to Machine Design, but fails to elaborate in many of the key areas. Furthermore, many formulas are presented, but there are not enough examples on their use. My greatest complaint though, has to do with the print, it seems as if I had in my hand a book written out in the 60s. Drawing are dirty and unclear in many situations, tables seem as if they were cutout from another book and pasted here, then photocopied (the first drawing in the book, a man, seems as if it was photocopied on a lousy photocopier from an old newspaper), and the typeface in the graphs is plainly outdated. I understand late J. Shigley is no longer among us, but Mischke should modernize the quality of presentation when deciding to launch new editions. Overall, I recommend Rothbart's handbook over this one.

Very good engineering book.

Love it.

This text is an excellent reference for any design engineer working in the machinery field. It fills in where the Machinery's Handbook falls short. The text is basically (I am oversimplifying) an expanded version of the Shigley McGraw-Hill Machine Design Textbook. My only complaint is that the discussion on the strength of welded joints is missing.

Handbook che costituisce un classico della progettazione di macchine con una copertina rigida molto bella e ben rilegato

I am unpleasantly surprised by the poor quality of the binding: the book has a rigid cover but... the binding is without sewing cloth on the back of the book but it has only poor and cheap paperback glue.Really a bad job! I will ask for a refund!
