Product Description
Review
...electronic version of a well-known print handbook...This program is most useful for users who do most of their work in the field or on the road, where they would carry laptop computers but would not want to take books with them...One advantage of the software is the ability to print specific pages, allowing users to write notes on the pages without the guilt of defacing a book. Upper-division undergraduates and up. (Choice )

Worth every penny of the extra cost, the durability of the hardback edition makes it invaluable as one's sole companion on those lonely desert, jungle or offshore postings. A seminal experience.

Perry has outdone himself once again. The seventh edition is even more of a show-stopper than the previous editions. I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting, unable to put it down for a moment, not even to relieve myself! The molecular weights were so accurate and the heats of reaction made my spine tingle. Once I reached the section discussing distillation and tray efficiencies I new I was hooked. I won't give away the ending but it's definitely a shocker. Bravo to Mr. Perry's and I am counting the days to the release of your 9th edition!

Review of Perry's Handbook

We always say "You'll find it in Perry's"
Quite simply the Chemical Engineer's Bible - a reference book you simply cannot afford to be without. Worth every penny, franc or cent!

Best book out there
It is the definitive book for Chemical Engineers, if only it had some harder maths in it would be worth the dosh.

Quality off-beat humour makes this an essential read
I never thought that the subject lived until I read chapter 2 on reaction engineering. The sheer excitement of the author permeates the text. Read more
