Purchased, then returned, this book several months ago while trying to expand my engineering reference library. At first glance the breadth of the text seemed passable, but after paging through it for a couple of days I realized that this book is just a collection of formulae and very few diagrams, with nearly no technical discussion at all.
For a book slightly larger in dimensions than the "toolbox-sized" Machinery's Handbook, this book is all white space and very little information save for pages and pages of mathematical proofs of equations (which are fine when you're in school, but not when you're a practicing engineer).
