Superb low volume encyclopedia of materials October 28, 1998
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

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 ?
