Design of Machinery with Student Resource DVD

Excellent book and great shipping time

Had many examples to problems in book that helped understand material. Also had the software needed in the cd in the back of the book that helped you see what you were doing.

I like the fact that the book came with a CD-Rom and several programs to demonstrate the mechanisms.

This book is great and perfect for quick reference after graduate still. A must get for Mechanical Engineers who like machinery design.

This is probably the worst textbook I've had to read. Examples are scarce and confusing. The methods of naming linkages make things more complicated. Equations are scattered. Text doesn't explain the material at all. A lot of examples and problems in the book tell you to refer to the problem that they did 200 pages ago to get certain values you need so you have to do a lot of flipping through the pages. Overall a horrific book. I hope nobody has to buy this book ever again.

I rented this, here on Amazon, for $70.00. Considering the buying options I had at my university, this was a savior for me. The cheapest used version of this book we had available was $190.00. I got exactly what I paid for and I'll end up getting some of my money back when I return it — definitely worth it.

Great book to keep. It's very helpful to have it as reference.

I'm not too far into this book yet, but so far it seems to be a pretty standard undergrad level engineering textbook. I do get annoyed when I have to flip between pages because a figure is on one page and it's description is on another.

Great
