This is a review on the KINDLE version of this book.

I am using the Kindle DX, I was looking forward to getting Steam Plant Operation in kindle format so I wouldnt have to lug around this hefty tome.

I was saddened and dismayed to find you could not skip through chapters or even select a chapter to jump to from the table of contents. you would have to either type in the page you wanted, or go one page at a time...

for the price they are asking it is simply not worth it. I quickly returned the book for a refund. I'll stick to my paper copy for now.

I give the paper version of this book 4.5 stars.

I own all the editions of this book. If you lived in Ohio in the late seventies and eighties this book would have been excellent for those taking the high pressure or steam engineers exams. This was the bible for operators and engineers. It is an excellent reference book and easy to comprehend. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in boilers and or turbines and as a reference book for your library.

Customer Rating: 

The best book on the market for training of power plant operators. Revisions keep up with the field. Have been using this book for training power plant opreators to optain their Massachusetts Stationary Engineers and Firemen's licenses, for over 15 years.

Customer Rating: 

A must for the state of Ohio boiler exam,along with Steingress & Frost!

Customer Rating: 

The book is good to see lots of pictures of steam plant equipment and a bit is given explaining what the equipment does, but I found the "Steam & Diesel Power Plant Operators Examinations" book much more powerful to pass fireman and engineers exams, including employment interviews! I suggest to buy both of these great books!
