Part P Doctor?

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!

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

I can't justify books for curiosity, I buy books that are going to teach me something

 

[dingbat]

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)

 

[dingbat]

Midlands, mostly. (See email.)

It's good to get a week or so a month off my knees!

 

[Spark123]

I ordered it, it has arrived but I will have to wait till tuesday before I can pick it up .
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!!

 

[dingbat]

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!

 

[Spark123]

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.
