Imagine this handsome volume gracing the desk or bookshelf. You'll eagerly tell visitors that this is the book that helped accelerate the industrial revolution by capturing important standards, specifications and methods in manufacturing and machine design and fabrication. Manufacturing leadership is largely contained between those hard covers. Coming forward nearly 100 years, the 29th Edition (2012) is a hefty ~2, 900 pages. The current Machinery's Handbook continues the tradition as the world-renowned reference, "The Bible" of metalworking and mechanical science around the globe.
