Ordering from South Africa,i was amazed at the efficient delivery but most of the all the book condition exceeded my expectations.i've been ordering from Amazon over the years but this one is the most impressive i've had yet. it has motivated me to make a review for the first time on this website..
keep up the excellent work

I had to buy this book for my Solid Mechanics course. I would advise you to do yourself a favour by buying Russell C. Hibbeler's Mechanics of Materials/Statics/Dynamics/Structural Analysis books rather than anyone else's. The experience with this book was OK but I wish I had been smarter and just buy the Hibbeler's Mechanics of Materials.

This is really a great book in a hard to grasp subject.It is easy to follow ,has a lot of excellent sample problems and examples ,sudent-friendly and it is ideal for selfstudy.

This books is the only rival of the Hibbeler's book.It has full SI editions and it contains clear examples.It handles the concepts clearly and in detail. It is strongly recommended to engineering students to obtain this book with Hibbelers one.

This book has a lot of interesting questions, but does not really delve into giving detailed procedures for getting answers. In the practice exercises, it skips a bunch of steps, assuming that the reader would already know what to do. At other points in the book, they painstakingly go through simple concepts. This was frustrating situation at times, which was exacerbated by having an incompetent professor. In the end, this book saved my hide by having good pictures and somewhat straightfoward approaches to mechanics problems. Also, the answers in the back of the book are a HUGE help. From them, you can usually identify a stupid mistake in your answer which could be the result of too many or too few zeros.
