 Most amount of errors I have ever seen in a book November 18, 2009
Icky K (NY)
This book has errors everywhere. Symbols, text, examples, simply everything. I can't believe someone could publish anything with so many errors! Other than that, its a decent book but it fails to explain many concepts as a whole.
 Excellent Buy February 18, 2009

The book was exactly how the seller described; brand new, and in excellent condition. I would highly recommend using this seller.
Horrible!! May 9, 2006

By far the worst text book I've ever had to use. Riddled with errors. Poor and incomplete explanations of complex subject matter. Examples and problems often with errors. Does lead the student into intense studying of content, if only to understand exactly what authors are saying and whether it is correct or not. Included software worthless except for limited use in solving problems in text.
This book should be offered free to India, Japan, and China to give us an edge over their HVAC engineerng expertise.
The 6th edition DOES include a CD March 31, 2005

I am holding beside me a 6th edition with the CD in the back of the book. The 6th edition DOES include a CD, unlike what the previous review wrote. I had to write this so others are not mislead. Maybe some books people are selling don't include it -- what to do? Just ask the seller if their book has a CD with it. Mine does, and others do too.
 Book does not include CD August 30, 2004

This book is equal in quality of content to edition 5 except that the version of edition 6 being sold here does not contain the CD normally included with this textbook. The publisher's web site states "New to this edition (edition 6) is the inclusion of additional realistic, interactive and in-depth examples on CD". This CD would also contain the software that was included with edition 5. According to the publisher's tech support however, the version of edition 6 being sold by Amazon.com is for use under the guidance of an instructor where apparently the material on the CD would not be needed. If this book is for personal use I recommend a version that includes the CD.
