Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design 10th Edition

I bought this for my Mechanical Engineering Design class in my junior year of undergrad. I have to say, out of all the textbooks that I have needed, I would say this one is actually worth buying. The book is well written and the examples are good. I was lucky enough to have a professor who is extremely knowledgeable on the material so that helped a lot as well. I bought it brand new, when the price was down to $115. Despite it being the middle of the semester when I bought it, I figured that this would be useful beyond the class. I have yet to determine that, so I may have to update this review in the future.

Bought this a long time ago for a mechanical design engineering course and still use it as a reference for engineering work.I wanted to leave (and update) this review to list any typo that I've found in Shigleys Mechanical Engineering Design 10 edition.In example 7-1 on page 363, the solution mentions Table 6-6 to find the reliability endurance modifier; it is supposed to be Table 6-5.

The bible of mechanical engineering. This book covers a huge range of topics which will be useful to everyone from mechanical engineering students to engineering professionals. It doesn't have as many examples as some other engineering design books, but it makes up for this in its quality of content. A few of the mechanical engineers that I work with carry this book on their shelves to use as reference. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great reference.

This book isn’t terrible. It does a decent job explaining a fairly difficult subject, I just had a poor teacher who didn’t further help me understand the subject. The images are generally good and large enough to understand and there are quite a few example problems, but they all are very basic. The book itself is very large and heavy, so don’t expect to want to carry it around in a backpack all day, especially if you have other books/binders. It would be a great resource to keep around if you’re going into the mechanical field. Be sure to dedicate time to go through the book on your own.

Shigley's mechanical engineering design books are starting to look better on the covers. It's great to have a reference book like this for machine design classes and mechanics of materials. Solutions to selected problems are in the back of the work to verify whether you're doing the problems correctly or not. Definitely a good book to read and gain a lot of knowledge from.

Great resource for mechanical design. Easy to understand.

BOOK HAD A BROKEN SPIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOK. OF COURSE IT IS USED, COULD NOT FIND A BETTER ONE BASED ON DESCRIPTIONS BUT PICTURE ID NOT MATCH BOOK RECEIVED

This is all in SI units, if you have assigned problems in English units the numbers will not be the same, even when converted. Other than that its good.
