Steam Plant Operation
I own all the editions of this book. If you lived in Ohio in the late seventies and eighties this book would have been excellent for those taking the high pressure or steam engineers exams. This was the bible for operators and engineers. It is an excellent reference book and easy to comprehend. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in boilers and or turbines and as a reference book for your library.

Steam Plant Operation
The best book on the market for training of power plant operators. Revisions keep up with the field. Have been using this book for training power plant opreators to optain their Massachusetts Stationary Engineers and Firemen's licenses, for over 15 years.

Good Book, but...
The book is good to see lots of pictures of steam plant equipment and a bit is given explaining what the equipment does, but I found the "Steam & Diesel Power Plant Operators Examinations" book much more powerful to pass fireman and engineers exams, including employment interviews! I suggest to buy both of these great books!
