Currently progressing towards my EOOW and was constantly taking this bookout of the library. To buy this book brand new is quite expensive but this book will last me throughout my career. Contains information that will (hopefully) help me through my EOOW, 2nds and Chiefs EK's and orals. All my lecturers have recommended buying this book.
I can't really see any other need for this book unless you are a marine engineer or trainee marine engineer.
