	Welder's Handbook : A Complete Guide to Mig, Tig, Arc & Oxyacetylene Welding Richard Finch A must for every serious enthusiast, 3 June, 2001 Reviewer: (david.bailly@ksitronix.com) from Brussels, Belgium This is the best book for the beginner.From what equipment to buy to how to make the best welds, all the tips and methods are explained in this very well illustrated book. By buying this book prior to make any weld you will avoid a lot of mistakes. Good coverage of welding, but I have some concerns., 19 March, 1998 Reviewer: cycotic@earthlink.net from New Jersey Overall, the book was very informative and comprehensive on melting points and welding methods. I do have a problem with 2 points in the book. On page 65,the author mentions squirting WD-40 into the relief hole in a welded tube before riveting or WELDING it shut. WD-40 is a flammable liquid on it's own, in the presence of pure oxygen, it would burn violently. On the next page, the author shows a torch hanger to hang the torch "so you won't have to shut it off and relight each time you stop to adjust or setup your weld." While this may seem like a time saver, is it really worth it when your life could be ended should that torch fall out of the hanger and land on your hoses? With the exception of these two concerns, the book was well written and informative to the new welder.

	Racer's Encyclopedia of Metals, Fibers & Materials (Motorbooks International Powerpro) Forbes Aird Superb low volume encyclopedia of materials, 28 October, 1998 Reviewer: pgeorg@acci.gr from Athens, Greece For those who would like to delve into the materials used for automobile manufacturing and especially racers and performance cars, this book is the top notch one. You don't only have the chance to know about the most exotic materials and their automotive use, but also you have the chance to know about materials themselves. The book is well structured, presenting you first all the notions required to know in order to undertstand what will follow and then it gives you all the metals, fibers and other materials used in automobile (and not only) manufacturing. It really is a complete insight making every one of its readers an almost expert. I enjoyed it a lot (being an amateur and self tought designer). My only suggestion to author and publisher: why not present a new, updated edition

	Fiberglass & Composite Materials : An Enthusiast's Guide to High Performance Non-Metallic Materials for Automotive Racing and Marine Use Forbes Aird Synopsis For many years, race cars of all types have been constructed with lightweight materials other than aluminium or steel. These include fibreglass, polymers, carbon fibre, kevlar and reinforced plastics. The application of this technology is also becoming more widely used on street cars as stronger materials, are developed, costs become lower and techniques are simplified. But the most widespread automotive application is still racing, and the equipment and technology available today now make it possible for racers to repair, and even construct their own lightweight body panels using these mateials. This text is a comprehensive technical handbook on the most current technology behind fibreglass and other composite materials. It should be of interest to racing or automotive enthusiasts as well as the automotive engineering or design students and professionals
