Decent book if you are looking for information on the various types of welding, related equipment, etc. Too academic if you are looking for practical information to help you start welding. The question/answer format was a little annoying. I felt like I was back in college taking a test.
Rating: 2 / 5
The question and answer style of this book doesn’t make it easy to read. There is too much stop and go and makes this book annoying. Also, the pictures don’t exactly diagram welding techniques. If you are a beginner you should probably get something else. I returned this book.

Purchased this book to prepare for my CWI certification. This is an excellent resource to understand the basic welding processes, advantage, disadvantages of each, along with safety discussions
I would highly recommend this book as ‘required’ reading for anyone just interested in basic welding processes.

Having 10 or so books on welding text book type and the others. Most bog you down with a lot of info that you will never need if you are an artists/hobbyist or even a certified daily working welder. And they all seem to lack the info that comes up from time to time that we all need.
It is in a question and answer format that covers what is the most asked questions on safety, general welding of most types, as the contents page lists. With out all the theory and mumbo jumbo the text books put in.
In its 500 plus pages it has a great glossary with clear to the point definitions. Good clear illustrations. And a simple to understand safety info. Some fun stuff, ok I’m an fact geek for off beat info. Like what do all those numbers mean stamped on the neck are of the tanks etc.
The Second edition does have updated info. Along with a survey of other welding methods. And chapters on subjects of interest to a person doing art/hobbyist or occasional welding. But could prove useful to a daily welder as a handy reference guide.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book gives good generalized information on welding principles and practices. Also gives practical general welding repair methods. An asset to any bookcase.
