Book Reviews of Marine Diesel Engines

Book Review: Another keeper from Calder
Summary: 5 Stars

This is another fine reference book from Nigel Calder! I think that this book along with a good factory type manual would be all you needed to maintain your diesel engine. I have yet to purchase a book that Calder has authored that was not worth the money.
