SAMPLE OF CUSTOMER REVIEW –

1) Igor the Pump Guy Again - Please also see my review of the "Engineers Guide to Centrifugal Pumps" also by Igor Karassik. I first bought the Second Edition of the Pump Handbook many years ago (1985) thinking that it contained everything I would need to know. Looking back, I am embarrassed to think that new technologies would not impact the pump world; how wrong is that? Further, as luck would have it, I was wrestling with a problem related to rotodyanamics (Reed Critical Analysis of a line shaft pump). Add to that the fact that I had now been working with positive displacement pumps of all flavors and colors. The Fourth Edition address those exact same issues. And as a bonus, throws in a review of quite a comprehensive selection of different applications for a vast array of environmentally different service conditions (different industrial applications and environments). Then, if all else fails, this book is big and heavy enough to suffice as a non-concealed weapon in almost any circumstance.

2) Packed full of information - I needed both an overview and detailed information on certain aspects of pump behavior. This book provided both to me. It's very thick, but it has to be since it covers so much material.
