Informative, but has a lot of errors

I've never seen a book that had so much incorrect information. When reviewing it in the class I needed the book in, the teacher and the class found at least one mistake per chapter on average. You would think after 9 editions, they would be able have caught most if not all the mistakes.

Overpriced and Often Inaccurate
May 29 2012
By J. Rogers
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I will admit that this book, coupled with good instruction, will teach you the basics of most mechanical blueprint reading you'll ever need. Most of the information is well presented, or at least well enough to get a feel for what you're doing, however..
For the price, it's not that good. I paid some $80+ for it about two years ago new, and it doesn't appear the price has gone down much. It's also a workbook, meaning little chance of finding it used and even less of resale.
Also, the answers in the instructor edition are absolutely LITTERED with mistakes as to assignment answers. We spent a good majority of the time questioning our instructor (who probably should have but didn't check the validity of the answers) when we would all have the same answer, and he would agree, yet something entirely different was left as the key. No lie, there was typically one incorrect answer per page, and at max I remember three on a single assignment.
I won't say the book is bad. It's really not. For independent study? Yes, it's terrible and couldn't recommend it if they paid me to. As part of classwork with decent instruction and an instructor that pays attention? Sure, but it still doesn't avoid the price tag.

I just finished using this book for my blueprint reading class. I could not believe how many errors were in the book. I am surprised that the would even consider using a book with so many errors.
