This book is poorly organized and written. Even the introduction requires the reader to understand material not yet introduced until later chapters. The author repeatedly alludes to subtleties and nuances which obscures clear meaning and hinders the learning process. The book is unreadable and I am returning it for credit.

I am the author of this book. The book is now entering its twelfth printing and has sold tens of thousands of copies to universities, companies and individuals throughout the world. It not only contains all of the basics of dimensioning and tolerancing, but at 624 pages is long enough to show the reader how to apply the language of GD&T to single parts and assemblies. I constantly get emails and personal comments from readers telling me how much they love the book. One person in charge of GD&T at Daimler/Chrysler told me he couldn’t imagine a better book on the topic. Another said his whole department relied on it for the answers to all their GD&T questions. I decided to write in because there were two “reviews” listed by Amazon customers. One reviewer liked the book and the other didn’t. The one who didn’t said he couldn’t even understand the book’s Foreword. Since all I wrote in the Foreword was that GD&T was a language of symbols and rules and then proceeded to thank the individuals who helped me construct the book, I had to wonder what could possibly have confused him. I just wanted the customers of Amazon to know this is a serious treatment of a difficult topic and one of the most comprehensive texts ever written about GD&T.

This is a good book for a subject that is not easy to learn. It is a learning tool to help guide you, not show you exactly what you need to do. In GD&T there is no exact answer. What one would do another would not. This book shows you how to apply the concepts, but you need to understand your part/assembly in order to apply the concept to your situation. Every time I have need something about GD&T, I have used this book. I usually have to re-read the section explaining the principal in question, sometimes twice, but all the basic reasoning is there for you. For those of you who think you can pick up this, or any other, GD&T book and be a master at it you are mistaken. I have taken classes and read a few GD&T books and I still do not know everything. All in all I found this book to be beneficial to my understanding of GD&T and would (an have) recommend it.

When I read the introduction of this book It was immediately clear it did not begin with the basics of GD&T. The books introduction assumes you are familiar with the fundamental principals of this system. This book may be great for someone already GD&T experienced wishing to improve their skills. For the inexperienced looking to learn from the ground up I would look elsewhere.

I am in the automotive field and needed a source reference. This book is excellent not too technical and not too simple. I would recommend it for anyone who needs an understanding of GD&T.
