Review: Great for a Quick Reference - I bought this book to use as a quick reference for looking up various specs, practices, and conversions on the job sites. Though a bit expensive, the book is worth its near $60 price tag. If you have ever spent hours digging through old text books or the internet looking for specs or construction techniques then you know it's a pain in the *ss. I bought this handbook because I wanted an all-inclusive source for everything. So far it has been money well spent. With Mr. Day's handbook you can find what you're looking for in a matter of several minutes. The handbook has just the right amount of knowledge about particular subjects, in my opinion. Using this quick reference has made my job much easier. It travels with me to all my jobs and sits on my desk at the office just in case I need it. So far everything that I've needed to know has been covered in the handbook. I even thought I'd stump it with geosynthetics, but Mr. Day had it covered. I would recommend this book to any engineering firm or contractors needing a quick and easy field guide to geotechnical engineering. I'll update my review as needed.
Review: Useful and informative - Informative

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for the PE Geotechnical depth
*by S***N on December 7, 2018*

A must have book for any geotechnical engineer taking the PE exam. Very helpful for answering the more obscure qualitative questions on the depth section of the PE exam. This book was likely the difference in me passing the exam on my first attempt. Highly recommend buying this book, tabbing it up, and bringing it with you on exam day.
