Summary: Handbook Of Pratical Gear Design
Review: Anyone who engineers or specifies gears or gear drives would benefit from this book. Information on the design and function of gears is found in this well thought out text book. This book (written 1983) is greatly expanded and updated from the original (1954) version that I read in 1973. At this time, Handbook of Practical Gear Design is not quite the state of the art in gear engineering it is an excellent resource. All types of gearing are discussed. Read all the articles completely because the last part of the articles usually has newer information. (for example: the article on Hunting Teeth on page 3.8.) This is one of the great books in gear engineering and I consider this book a basic source in gaining the knowledge of great gear design.

Summary: The printing quality is poor, try to find the 1984 original
Review: The book contents might be excellent. I regreted to
buy the copy by CRC press. It seems to me that CRC press
photocopied the original 1984 version by McGraw-Hill.
The pictures looks terrible.

I recommend to purchase the copy by the other press.
