Mechanical Engineering/ Industrial Tech........2007-08-19
This is one of the most useful, practical, and understandable mechanical and electrical information sources on the planet! I have a couple of professional degrees and I still learned PLENTY from this book. Don't learn the hard way read this book! This should be required reading for all the girls and boys in the college of engineering. That way they would be comfortable to operate in the field making everyday practical decisions.
Lacks gasoline engine info.......2007-08-08
good on basics except fails to help those of us looking for information on older, or actually any, gasoline engines. And that is not mentioned in any of the advertisements or other information. I should return it.
My husband sleeps with this book.......2007-08-07
My husband and I just bought a vintage steel-hulled Abeking & Rassmussen classic cutter-rigged boat. We are restoring, re-wiring, reconnecting plumbing, refinishing the interior, etc. This reference book is by my husband's side throughout the process. It has been on-target in every aspect. We will be acquiring more Nigel Calder titles, I am certain.
Happy sailor.......2007-07-27
This book is a must for boat owners.
Amazon is by far the cheapest place to purchase it.
Great book with lots of information.......2007-07-26
This is a great book with lots of information, a must for anyone that may have to do any repairs them self on their boat, lots of input on the how to for the boat owner mechanic.

Cheap insurance.......2007-10-05
I bought this manual soon after purchasing my '99 E46 323i. I wanted to have a manual ready so that when a problem did occur, I could immediately get to work. Last month, a crankshaft position sensor went wonky on me, and the book was there to help right away. I'm glad I had the Bently manual on my shelf. It had everything I needed to know, including torque specifications for when I was putting things back together. I probably saved a net $200, but I'll never know because I didn't even have to take the car in to the shop :).
If you have an E46, buy this manual.
As an aside, it's also pretty cool to learn about the ultra-sexy engine in the E46 M3.
Must-have resource for E30 DIY'ers.......2007-09-05
If you plan on doing any DIY repairs or maintenance on your E30, you NEED this book. Although one can find many DIY websites on the Internet, this book is comprehensive - with wiring diagrams, torque values etc that are hard to find elsewhere.
Very exhaustive in detail, covers most commonly performed maintenance and repair procedures in easy to understand explanations and pictures. Major systems are also described in a manner that will appeal to first-time DIY'ers.
Absolutely the best...at a price.......2007-08-10
This is absolutely the BEST manual for the E46 BMW, but pricey at over $80. It's also huge, with over 1400 pages, though all of those are not dedicated to repair procedures. I would judge 40% of the heavy book to be electrical drawings and diagnostic codes. Maybe that's to be expected for a vehicle that has become so electronically complex. I would have preferred this be in a 2-volume format, so I could leave that last 40% on the bookshelf when working on the car.
I also bought the Haynes manual for the E46; 320 pages. Not nearly as complete, but at under $20, and a real bargain. I prefer having them both. I will easily recover the cost after the first job that allows me to do the work myself instead of taking the car to the shop. If I had to choose, dollar-for-dollar, the Haynes manual probably delivers greater value.
EXCELLENTE!.......2007-06-29
This book is awesome. It was in excellent condition, and was excatly what I was looking for in terms of content!
Great!.......2007-05-23
The Bentley books are just great! Good and detailed descriptions with plenty of images makes repairing your car in fact quite easy. Wiring diagrams are a bit confusion if you've never seen one before, and the component locations charts for the wiring diagrams are a bit short.
All in all, the Bentley-books beat i.e. Haynes by far! Go get one!

Bently Mini Cooper Service Manual.......2007-01-09
This is an excellent resource for the novice and experienced individual interested in knowing more about their mini. The information and instructions are detailed and references to appropriate tools are included.
This book is very valuable to someone who lives a long distance from an authorized dealer, but would like to maintain their mini. Level 1 and 2 inspections are thoroughly explained along with many technical tips.
As an experience car restorer and motorsports enthusiast, this manual was one of the best encountered.
Mini Cooper 2003.......2007-01-04
I have a used 2003 Mini Cooper. If I dont have this book, I'll be end up paying alot of money for repair and replacing used part.
This book give you step by step how to do it.
Also tell you how to reset the electronic parts.
This book will be a good investment, it will save you money in parts and labor.
Mini Service Manual its a MUST HAVE!.......2006-11-13
I own a Mini Cooper S 2004 and this book is a really life saver. It show you how to do from a basic service to a more deep one. It has very detailed ilustrations and its a MUST HAVE. I Recommend it!
Must have for the serious MINI owner.......2006-03-22
I purchased this book prior to converting my 2002 MCS to a showroom stock car.
My first step was to remove the supercharger.
If you have worked on your MCS, you know that the supercharger appears to be the 1 part the rest of the car was built around.
The details in the manual are very clear, and the steps are logical and they even include short cuts.
You also get the part numbers, wiring diagrams, and everything you need to really know the car and fix it yourself.
This is NOT a chilton/hayes Manual.
IT HAS DETAIL!!!!
From brake jobs, to engine removal, to speaker installs, this is the single best "mod" you can buy for your MCS.
The Mini Cooper Bible Period!.......2006-02-23
If you do any type of work on your mini buy this book. Everyone from beginners to shadetree DIYers to experienced automotive techs could use this book.

Fan Handbook: Selection, Application, and Design.......2007-06-08
A good addition to other fan design books but incomplete by itself as it lacks any real guidelines on the mechanical design.
It should include more on impeller stressing (blade bending & hoop stress), shaft critical speed and impeller resonance.
There are a few anomalies but also some good flow information.
The axial and centrifugal flow design data is good except for centrifugal fan casings which really only covers wide, high volume designs. If you are looking for detailed centrifugal casing design for high pressure blowers then look elsewhere (I am still looking).
The chapter on system resistance is very informative. The other sections on fan applications and the different fan types is also very good.

Not bad, but not over the fence, either........2002-02-26
As a basic primer on fan concepts, this is a good book. It also serves as a sort of non-engineer's guide to fan design and allows someone with very little knowledge or experience create a fan design of some reasonable worth.
Unfortunately, I was looking for a bit more of an in depth aerodynamic study and have yet to find a piece of literature that I like. I understand that many of the older books on cascade aerodynamics are quite good, but they are no longer in publication, and this didn't really satisfy my interests.
Particularly annoying to me is the lack of derivation of the methodology in the fan design section. Some basic magic formulas are given and then tied together with some basic velocity diagrams to yield a fan blade design methodology.
An execellent, practical work; worth owning........1998-08-02
The "Fan Handbook" is the finest book yet written on fan design, implementation, use, and trouble shooting. The book a delight to read and use. Mr. Bleier, unlike many techno-types, is fine writer (and I suspect re-writer) and a careful idea organizer. The work has many, many professionally shot photographs and is fully illustrated. There are no crude computer generated drawings anywhere! It's well indexed and heavily cross-referenced.
The book's slant is to the practical and explicitly avoids calculus, but it is by no means elementary. Any person with high school algebra and trig can understand the well-presented equations and solve all the case study problems with a little effort. Math phobes needn't be put off; the book is not "too" mathematical.
The only thing that prevented me from awarding five stars to this terrific book was an important omission. No mention is made of specialized fans for cooling towers. I had especially hoped to learn mo! re about design requirements for static presure regain/velocity recovery fan stacks for very large fans. But this shortcoming should not disuade any cooling tower engineers from purchasing this book, since all of the principles discussed do fully apply to cooling towers. END

Customer Reviews:
The definitive TT manual GET IT!.......2007-05-09
This is the best service manual I have ever seen. It makes Chilton or Audel manuals look like kids books.
This book has it all. It covers the TT from lug nuts to adjusting your front and (on Quattro equipped cars) rear caster and camber. It tells you the model differences, and how to service each type, not simply the most popular, like many other manuals.
The thing is about 2.5" thick, and weighs about 8 or 10 pounds (my best guess) I enjoy just reading it, but it can be a bit unweildly unless you have a table or surface to rest it on, its that big!
The book covers 1.8 180 HP, 1.8 225 HP and the newer 3.2 250 HP models, bouth coupe and roadster. It covers the sound systems, both stock and Bose systems with the CD changer. It covers Haldex unit service, it shows most special factory tools (hint- many can be fabricated from the pictures)
I know I'm gushing over this manual, and honest- I do NOT work for Bentry publishing!, the book is simply awesome, a term I usually reserve for much more exciting things than service manuals. The book is much more than I expected, it really delivers the goods.
If you own a TT, GET THIS BOOK! Even if you don't do your own work, you will be a much better informed consumer when you roll your baby into the evil Audi dealer's spiderweb -ahhh, I mean service department...
Note, the Bently web site sells this for $89.95 plus $12.- shipping, so the Amazon price with FREE SHIPPING, is a fantastic buy.
Note: You can also get this book on CD/DVD, some people will prefer that, and I usually am among those who prefer it on dosk, but wit a shop manual, I like to have the book to lay on my workbench while I work.
The manual is great.......2007-01-15
The manual is very good. it is nice to have extra photo's.
My self like it better then the electronically manual. And more important you can use it everywhere. The CD ROM version can only be used on one PC

Missed my model on the fringe.......2007-07-01
Book has great diagrams. This is not a repair manual but a reference manual. My model is a 1998 A6 Quattro wagon. Several places, primarily in the electrical stuff, it misses my model or the picts do not show whats really in my car. Instance is there is no wiring diagram for the "1998 central locking system". Diagrams start with 1999. Also, no picts to show where windows system breakers are located for this model. A pict and diagram shows them to be under the drivers foot well, but after taking my panels off, its no where to be seen.
Great introduction section in the beginning of the manual to discuss differences between models, years, and options. Good functional info on transmissions and engines there too.
So far, its the best there is out there, but as most all these type books, they fall short. It is worth it for the info and diagrams it does contain.

Disregard The Words Of The Amateur!.......2005-01-20
I would agree with everything the previous reviewer said about the book with the exception of the last sentences regarding architects and engineers. This type of comment is ridiculous and does not belong on Amazon. The reviewer should take up his grudge on some other forum. Besides, why would anyone trust the words of someone who cannot even spell amateurs!
Foremost authority in parking........2001-07-14
This book is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to all the important issues involved in parking today. There is no other publication for parking structures in the markert place today that comes in a close secom If you think the design of parking structures is simple and straightforward -- think again! Only those who have never designed a parking structure (or did a mediocre, botched job of one) would think that it's easy. Don't kid yourself. The issues are numerous and difficult in all areas: architectural, structural, maintenance, restoration and functional. The book delves in depth in many of these areas. The true value of the book lies in its ability to prepare you to ask intellegent questions. You will be in position to participate in the planning process of a new parking structure and you will understand criteria that go into design decision making. Reading this book will NOT make you an expert. Only years of practical experience will do that for you. Architects, engineers and various other kinds of consultants who "dabble" in parking structures are RANK AMATURES and should be avoided by anyone considering professional services for parking structures.

Just about everything you need to know..........2007-08-27
I recently purchased a used 03 Passat and love it. I drove my younger cousins in the car and they managed to make the backseat ashtray, that is supposed to fold nicely into the center console, unable to catch and stay closed. We had originally ordered this manual to help offset the cost of having the oil changed by a mechanic, but we were able to read and know exactly how to fix the ashtray and save an $80 visit to the dealer.
Technical yet somewhat dry.......2007-05-13
Need to work on this car? Then get this book. Bring a mechanic with tools. Very well read.

The Dock Manual.......2007-09-24
I've built decks and docks in the past and I find this text to be of immense value as I prepare to build a new system of decks and docks at a new location. I'd suggest this this one to anyone who was about to build near or on the water.
Great information!.......2005-08-31
Very thorough. Just the information I needed to determine what type of dock to build on my lakefront property.
Something Missing.......2004-02-08
Yes, this book provides a well-illustrated overview of approaches to dock building and choices of materials. But it doesn't go far enough if you have a significant tidal range or if the wind blows. What's missing is any introduction to engineering. How to make sure the ramp doesn't fall off your float when the tide goes out. How to figure the static forces on your dock caused by 4 knot currents. How to estimate the wave heights and dynamic forces in 80 knot winds. And how to design a dock that will survive this abuse. You might want to involve a professional engineer in these situations, but that can be true of pretty much anything to do with docks. A book with this title should at least introduce you to these subjects and provide references for the gory details. Like some others, the author believes books like this should be peppered with jokes. Personally I find this annoying, but I must admit his jokes are above average. So if you want a funny introduction to building docks in gentle places, this book is for you.
Excellent DIY dock reference.......2002-07-26
I gave up trying to find any useful information on dock building and then happened across this book not long ago. Max Burns has written a very comprehensive reference book that covers almost any imaginable dock/shore situation including the one I was looking for . If you're thinking of building your own, add this book to your library!

Great reference work for the professional maintenance engineer.......2006-07-18
This book contains over 1500 pages of figures and often dense text. It is the only book of its kind that I know of written clearly for the degreed maintenance and facilities engineer. This book is an edited work by several dozen authors who are all leading maintenance practitioners and experts in their field. The book covers both management and technical issues associated with the maintenance of the modern physical plant.
In reference to management issues, the chapter entitled "Operating Policies of Effective Maintenance" successfully deals with the strategic decisions that Maintenance managers must make, including issues such as whether or not to outsource, shift coverage, whether to decentralize or centralize maintenance, and the use of standard practice sheets and work instructions. The chapter on "Operating Practices to reduce Maintenance Work" provides a basic yet well-formulated introduction to concepts of predictive and preventive maintenance. There is fairly comprehensive coverage of how best to provide incentive payments for maintenance workers, which may or may not be applicable in certain industrial situations.
The Chapters "An Introduction to the Computer in Maintenance" and "Computerized Planning and Scheduling" run the risk of being out of date before the book has long been published. However, the principles that these chapters cover remain somewhat timeless, and also provide a useful starting point for those wishing to understand more about these aspects. Newer younger grads in the field will probably already know this material. The Chapters entitled "Maintenance Stores and Inventory Control" and "Maintenance Storerooms" are very well written. They are particularly valuable since this topic gets relatively little attention from maintenance professionals, and these chapters show their importance.
The chapter entitled "Work Measurement" should give even experienced planners new ways to look at how they estimate job durations, and the chapter entitled "Work Simplification" introduces standard industrial engineering techniques to maintenance personnel, who often are industrial engineers by training, but sometimes are not. The tools discussed include charting tools and techniques that assist planners in identifying ways to make repair tasks quicker and simpler. Planners will also benefit from reading the chapter "Estimating Repair and Maintenance Costs".
The chapters on the technical aspects of maintenance are also well-written, and could be useful both as a reminder for engineers about some fundamental concepts, as well as providing useful information for craftspeople to assist with troubleshooting and ensuring that sound maintenance quality standards are implemented. There is also a very useful introduction to the three main predictive maintenance technologies - vibration analysis, oil analysis and thermography. These sections would equip anyone with a mechanical engineering background to be able to know what questions to ask of experts in these fields.
There is a small section entitled "Sanitation and Housekeeping" that may not be relevant to maintenance engineers or tradespeople, but it is included in keeping with the book's high standard of completeness.
There are a few areas of maintenance engineering that are not covered in this book. In particular, reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and its derivatives are not covered. Reliability modeling techniques such as Weibull Analysis and Root Cause Analysis get mentioned in one brief paragraph in the chapter on vibration analysis, which is a rather odd place for the subject. With all of the recent emphasis on Six Sigma, maybe the thinking was that this would better be handled on a book on that subject. Among the technical sections, there are some fairly common equipment types that are not covered. For example, there is no coverage of the maintenance of hydraulic systems, boilers, PLC's, or distributed control systems.
In spite of these few shortcomings, this is certainly an excellent reference for the maintenance engineer for most facets of the job including planning, financial, organizational, and hands-on technical aspects. The table of contents is as follows:
