Has anybody here bought this book?

I did, out of curiosity, and read it from cover to cover yesterday.

Not bad for a first attempt and aimed about right for the audience, but I've compiled a list of corrections! :wink:
 
I beleive it was actually written by one of the guys over at the IEE (sorry IET now!) electrics forum, perhaps you could send him a PM over there :lol:

I can't justify books for curiosity, I buy books that are going to teach me something :wink:
 
Oh, I know who wrote it.

I buy every book that any of my students might have come across - it pays to be ahead of the game when they ask tricky questions... especially when it's due to a misinterpretation of what they've read. English is not their strong point... which is a shame, given that they are English by nationality in most cases!
 
OOI where do you teach?

e-mail me or I'm on MSN if you don't want to say on here (See my profile)
 
I ordered it, it has arrived but I will have to wait till tuesday before I can pick it up :cry: .
Can you email me your list of corrections dingbat? I'm just about to embark on a written exam and am getting bored reading GN3 cover to cover!!
 
It will never take the place of GN3; it's aimed at kitchen fitters, etc and is extremely basic, but well set out.

Corrections are mainly terminology, typos and grammar and are of a minor nature. I'm only doing it because it annoyed me so much to see how many errors appear in Brain Scaddan's books despite numerous reprints and I thought it would be good for a new author to get it right quicker! :D
 
Does Al hang about on here at all?
Scaddan used to write the exams for the C&G2391 didn't he?? I have a few of his books and there are a few errors, agreed though he should have really got them sorted by now.
 
good evening all

yes it was me...

yes it was my first attempt so if you spot anything let me know...

all response that i have had up to now has been very favourable and kind.

regards
