Nice book with nice price
By Anzhelika burkovsky
I bought it for just to know a couple parts here and there. I didn't buy for school use and i didn't want to pay the price for a new book because i was just using it for better knowledge since sometimes i order for truck parts. So i would loved to know a couple parts to help with my job. Since i work with semi trucks it definitely a great buy. Yes in this book was a couple writings here and there and notes of the person but i didn't mind that. I use it everyday happy i bought it but i did have to use a dictionary once in a while since i never studied before. Also it wasn't ripped which was the most important and i'm guessing it was somebody's present and then they sold it because it was signed. Anyway great buy and the book came in may instead of june. Loved that it was earlier than expected.

regret buying
By zpete
bought this book to study on my own to get certified.answers to practice questions at end of chapters are on some cd that they wont sell you unless you are an instructor. a valuable study tool denied. very unhappy that I bought this book. and that the author was short sighted enough not to include such an essential study tool. if I expressed my true opinion I'm sure they wouldn't post this review.

not for beginners
By chris
bought this book to get a better understanding of diesel engines but after the first few chapters quickly realized if you are not already very familiar with diesels you will have a very difficult time understanding this book, the author does a lot of talking over your head in every chapter. you will have to be constantly jumping form chapter to chapter trying to figure out what he is talking about. it gets annoying, so if you are looking for a book to help you under stand diesel and get a bisic idea of what they are about this is not a good pic.
