Poorly organized, badly written, often wrong Aug 08, 2008
By Andrew D. Davis
"Andrew Davis, PE"
This book is badly written and poorly organized to the point of being nearly unreadable. I thought at first it could be the fault of the translation (in the way that english translations of chinese product manuals were twenty years ago); however, after reading the book, I'm sure the author is almost completely to blame.
This is just purely a self promotional, vanity book (the author is the Italian rep for Harken), and should not have been printed by a legitimate publisher. I have seen it advertised as "industry standard". That's funny...I'm in the industry and yet I don't know anyone else who has it or has referred to it.
The author spends a great deal of effort on fake calculations, which are often wrong. I am an engineer (a naval architect), and this book is absolutely useless to me. Further, I believe it is uninformative, and would be useless to amateurs as well. I paid $22.76 for it...a total waste.
