Performance Welding
|
1997
|
$25.95
F31557
|
Richard Finch’s book on welding entitled, "Performance Welding", is well-done with the exception that some of the pictures are out-of-focus which brings the over-all quality of the book down. The book does cover various aspects of different types of welding but for the homebuilder we would prefer that it concentrate on gas welding which this book does not do. The author is well-known and his reputation should help sell the book.
