Book Reviews of Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair

Book Review: I love being an amateur
Summary: 5 Stars

Nigel Calder wrote many books, but ?Marine Diesel Engines? is the first one I actually read. I can't wait for the others, because his style is straightforward, his method is step-by-step and logical and the pictures are handpicked and drive the final ?gotcha!?. In other words, Mr. Calder knows I'm an amateur and takes the time to explain everything and make me feel intelligent. I love being an amateur. Francois Cote, Montreal, QC, Canada.
