I'd rate it lower if I could
The book ,as an item, was in amazing condition and it arrived on time. That is not why I gave a bad review.If you're buying this book that means you have to for a class....be forewarned that this is the WORST textbook I've ever attempted to understand. The examples are convoluted and confusing and the presentation is intensely horrible.May Academic-God have mercy on your GPA

Not a very good book. Has many typos and is not clear
Not a very good book. Has many typos and is not clear. After going through college I expect better from a text book. Especially at this price point.

Bad Book
The book sucks, no real explanation for anything and half the equations have sign errors.

Good book but needs some work to become the excellent
I have only gotten through the first 3 chapters of the book and I have to say I have been impressed with the book. Problems I have done are regarding Velocity, Mobility, Velocity and Acceleration using Instantaneous Centres and PolygonPros- The explanations for most part are clear and there are tons of pictures of mechanisms- In Example problems, the author repeats previous info a lot and does them in detailed steps which really helps to hammer in the concepts- The companion site is excellent for gaining more insight. The worksheet provided in companion are a life saver as it means I don't have to draw the mechanism to analyse them; the worksheets has the mechanism drawn alreadyCons- Some sections need work. For example, the section on Instantaneous Centre was helpful but had some info missing that prevented most of my understanding. I had to look at other reference to understand it.I hope to write a more detailed review as to which section needs work and which reference I used to complement my understanding. For now, this is one of the better books I have looked at for Mechanics of Machines/Mechanisms/Machine Kinematics, etc.PS: I am a 3rd year ME Student.

MecE 362 is a challenging class but this textbook helps a lot. There are a few errors so make sure to talk with your prof or classmates to ensure all formulas are correct.
