Let me say that the book is okay, nothing wrong with the book. But here is my question: What is the purpose of the book, the exact purpose?? I work around tools and shops so when I see a book for $110. I think it must have something new. It does not, and it is at a level where it does not really have enough information to help. It is sort of am overview with pictures and some drawings. Coffee table book on machines - so to speak.
I would recommend forgetting about this book and buy some regular shop manuals or shop guides from a tool supplier. There are a number of one and two volume sets that give a lot more useful information, and very detailed information. Maybe this is for high school students, but not for professional shops.
Sorry but that is my humle opinion. I have the book and it collects dust. My recommendation: check out MACHINERY'S HANDBOOK also on amazon.com.

I have the older version of this book, which was supplied to me when I took a machinist pre-apprenticeship course, and I am about to buy this newer version.
The book is not too wordy, making it easy to understand the basic concepts of machining and the terminology that goes along. It also clearly explains how to use lathes, milling machines, measuring equipment and other basic machine shop equipment. I have not yet read the newer version, but the older book was a little bit lacking in the use of more complicated machines such as horizontal and vertical boring machines, which an advanced user might be interested in. Also there was only one chapter on cnc machines, which did not go into any great depth.

A lot of information on machining packed into one book. Good to keep in your tool box.
