Good book for mechanical nerds, 2008-09-10
Good and intructive pictures of different mechaical movements. Pitty that Amozon is cheep whith package: my book in disapointly bad conditon when I opend the pascel, wich made my reading experinece far less enjoyable. Comeon Amazon! I pay you 75 bucks and you don't even bother to make a durable wrapping. Shame I relly looked forward to learn more about mechanics!

Very Good, 2008-02-06
I find the book an excellent source of ideas if you are into designing fictures, jigs or mechanisms. The only "but" is that, just as the first reviewer mentions, the book lacks a detailed explanation of how the mechanisms function.

Fine pictures, poor explanation, 2007-07-30
I've found that there are a lot of interesting pictures of many mechanisms, much more than I expected. But I think authors could have added some more detailed explanations about how they work, or which are the main properties, like efficiency in terms of energy for example. At least compare different mechanisms to get an idea of which one is the best suitable for a concrete action.
In several mechanisms it also would have been interesting to get two or three images of the same object but in different movement steps.
