Review by Ted Mooney:

4th edition, 1984, hardcover, 790 pages.

For over 40 years, this has been among the more thumb worn volumes on most finishing bookshelves. It is divided into two multi-chapter parts, namely “General Processing Data” and “Engineering Fundamentals and Practice”. This book is so important that a more incisive pair of titles for the two halves could have been “How to Plate Things” and “How to Build A Plating Plant”.
