Engineering Texts
(OP)
I know there was the library thread on the other board, but what are some good text books I cna put in my library? Is there one Fluid Mechanics book that is the best? etc. (for a MEP folks)
I've found many on ebay, amazon, etc. lots of old ones. Does anyone know of any engineering friendly websites to buy old text books?

(yes, they're legitimate, no copyright problems)
Don't forget the link at bottom of the page.
Also for this month only you can get a wide variety of stuff free at worldebookfair.com (the downloads are very sloooowww though). For example check out this page:
ht
Free textbook on dsp www.dspguide.com
Free textbook on heat transfer - google "Lienhard heat transfer MIT"
Actually EIT has quite a bit of material free on-line. Google around and you should be able to find it.

As a general practice, I'd say buy the books as you need them. I kept all my old college books, and some, I have never needed since college, others are more useful to me. You may find engineering reference books more useful than textbooks.

Right now, I have over seven hundred books. They are all recommended, afterall, "continuous education" is a professional responsibility.

Do you take the books to parties with you?

ebay, alibris, and abebooks will give you a pretty good selection of used books. I like Alibris because they usually have a good description of the book. Once you find a book you can put it on your wishlist there and check back periodically to see if there's a cheaper one.
