I got this book as a gift which was purchased on Amazon from my wish list.
I was Somewhat disappointed` because from the title I expected something that;
* Explains how to select motors to meet specific requirements
* The use of motor curves published by manufacturers to determine the best motor for the need
* Pros and cons on different motor types
* More detail on motor construction
* Typical lifetime of types of brushed motors
* Best motor types for smooth operation verses high torque applications
This book was more into bullet points, than detailed explanations of what construction is best for different application. In many cases I can get more detail on motor construction from Wikipedia.
