By Far the Best -- Superb!

I completely agree with what several others have already said. This is far and away the best book of its kind for people like me, who are new to the subject.

I've searched high and low for a good introductory overview that provides a solid foundation in the basics, and in the last few months I've purchased a number of books trying to find something suitable.

While several of these have been very good, for my money, Machine Shop Essentials easily beats all the rest in terms of style, format, completeness, and organization of the information.

It is precisely what the title says: all of the essential information you need to know to get started. Highest recommendation.
