Deepuksa 23 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Good book with brilliant diagrams that are easy to understand, there is a good selection of pictures, however Initially i found the book hard to read but once i did the course work at collage, it did seem a much easier read. there are other easier to read books but this one really covers all aspects of plumbing, worth buying the book

Quality book! 24 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
Hello, if you are studying plumbing level 3 and want to be a good quality plumber/engineer then this is a book which covers things others don't even mention. there are no spelling errors i've found yet but spelling has never been my strong point. some books will be read and you will be confussed about something you may have discussed with colleaques or a tutor, this is strange as you think you are learning which you are but a book with mistakes will make you question yourself or tutors/colleaques, not had that with a Treloar book. it explains things with clarity and is well put together. there are other books you might or will need but this one is the daddy so far! Mr Treloar is a time served professional and those who wish to be of high standing and achieve comprehensive knowledge should get this book. I only recieved my copy today but know of older editions.

Good book 11 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
I got this for Xmas and have not put it down since. Great diagrams and up to date information on Document L1. My only gripe is that 95% of the book is repeated from the previous edition 3. So feel a bit cheated really. Overall it's a good book to have for a trainee plumber like me
