(More customer reviews)Beware! There are several inaccuracies in this book starting with stretch reduction tables on page 77- mostly mathematical errors. Some errors are random but some are in the entire table. I called the the publisher (Fairchild) and they are aware of the problem but I'm wondering why it's not recalled! Shame on you Fairchild!
