Completely New Second Edition is GREAT!
By A
I’ve been waiting for a revision of this Audel book for almost 10 years, and it’s finally here! I always have a devil of a time finding any useful books about my trade-pipe fitting. The only thing I ever found was the old edition of this book, I guess that reviewer who wrote that review dated 2000 was talking about the old edition because the new one just came out-in late 2003. And what an improvement. I’m giving one to each guy on my crew!

 short but sweet
By Meryl W.Hudson
Although the information in this book is factual, I find that the contents do not match the name of the book. Most of the information should already be known to the tradesman. When looking at a pocket manuel, I am looking for quick referances, pre-figured math tables, and or drawings. A better title for this book would be, Pipefitter’s and welder’s pocket manuel for beginer’s.
