Book Reviews of 1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances (Dover Science Books)
Book Review: not so great
Summary: 2 Stars
To get 1800 things into this rather small book the descriptions are necessarily quite short I guess, one sentence in most cases and allot of them seem to be rather cryptic. Not really very useful or informative. Keep this one by your toilet for a quick glance once in awhile maybe.
