1: Way Overpriced
I don't remember what I paid for this book when I bought it years ago, but it had to have been significantly less than the current asking price or I would not have bought it. It is a college level text, which in many areas makes you wish you had a Professor to bounce questions off of. In other words, it rips along at a rapid pace in places, which can lead to confusion. The level of theory developed for temperature and pressure is better than I have found in most publications but the flow section is inferior to other flow specific texts (like the Flow Measurement Enigneering Handbook).
It is not a bad text, but is definitely not worth the asking price!!!

2: buy a used copy instead
This book was actually copyrighted in 1984 - not 2001 as incorrectly stated in AMAZON. Apparently, Wiley and other publishing companies have been re-releasing older texts and marketing them as current. This is only one of many such cases that I have come across. Unfortunately, I can't speak to the quality of the book itself because I haven't yet read it. I only gave it a rating because Amazon requires one for comments to appear. In any case, if you are interested in purchasing the book I can honestly recommend buying a good used copy rather than the so-called 2001 edition. You may save some money this way.
