Title: a binding rip-off, literally
Review: I've enjoyed working with the text and I think it's structure is generally fairly good. I have a few problems with the organization of the convection chapters (4 & 5). Working with those chapters requires a lot of flipping back and forth. That complaint aside, the material itself is very good.The problem with this book is that the binding is of terrible quality. I think the book was printed in 1999 (maybe it was 1998, I'm not sure). At any rate, the pages fall out all the time with only light to moderate use (and this is true for everyone in my heat transfer course who got the book). Keep the book opened to a page long enough and it will separate from the binding and fall out. This is a total rip-off for a text that costs >$100 paperback. If a prof assigned the book, I would try to convince him to assign a different book.
Is the review positive or negative?
