Metric???  2008-02-27
Machines is not my work, but my hobby
I have so far spend a lot on my workshop, and will spend more in the future
This book was definitely a great addition, very complete, easy to understand,
The author takes you from the basics right up to the more complex matter, not assuming prior knowledge
a definite recommend
so why 3 stars and not 5 ?
well,
the book is written in imperial, I live outside the US (the rest of the world), and we use metric
I do know how to convert pounds to Kg's , but having to convert the whole time is a drag and can spoil a good read
