Richard Finch's book on welding
entitled, "Performance Welding", is well-done with the exception
that some of the pictures are out-of-focus which brings the
over-all quality of the book down. The book does cover various
aspects of different types of welding but for the homebuilder we
would prefer that it concentrate on gas welding which this book
does not do. The author is well-known and his reputation should
help sell the book. |
