"Great but thick in places." according to Chris. A very good book, I've read through it. A few sections I had to read through multiple times because they were a bit too dense, but they made sense on a second read through. It focuses a lot on the technical details of implimentation with a lot of specific examples throughout, it would be nicer to have more general, plain language explanations with less half-page blocks of pure technobabble. Very excellent though, I learned a lot reading through it and it has helped me in my job as a CAD drafter. A must-have for anybody in the manufacturing sector.. chanson said Best book on the subject so far. Supremely written especially in comparison to many other available resources. This book is great for someone new to GD&T as well as those already familiar who would like a deeper understanding. Good starter book Book goes into great depth about application, interpretation, and inspection of geometric tolerance. It has a great format that is easy to follow and it's illustrations are not overly simplistic nor colorfull and convoluted. In general the book is succinct and to the point. Remember however that GD&T is an art form and thus it's application can vary.
