Geo-Metrics III by Lowell Foster.  Hands down the best book on GD & T out there.  Check www.superbookdeals.com for the cheapest prices on books I've seen on the internet.

Good Luck!

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Applications and Techniques for Use in Design, Manufacturing, and Inspection
by James D. Meadows

It more of a "textbook" than Foster's book but gives some very detailed explanations of GD&T concepts as well as some examples that aren't found in either the ASME standard or the other guides to GD&T. A copy of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard is also good to have around. I actually refer to the standard more often than any of the other GD&T books on my bookshelf.

Also chack out http://www.tec-ease.com/gdt-tips.htm for some good GD&T tips.

Good luck...

opse0,

   Go the the source.  Get a copy of ASME Y14.5M-1994.

   The actual, official standard is fairly readable.  Any time any other references disagree with the standard, they are wrong.
