Chris - By: C. Powell-Williams, 25 Jun 2008 
A useful book but not without errors. Will have to be updated for the introduction of the Eurocodes. It covers the main structural materials & basic modes of analysis although it does focus on elastic analysis only touching on plastic w.r.t Yield Line Analysis of RC slabs.
Could include more plastic design of steel members & frames (inc. instantaneous centres).
Some problem with the binding - By: Scandinavian, 24 May 2008 There is some problem with the binding of this book. We bought some copies a year back & they are fallling apart. Mine started fallling apart after half a month of use.
Otherwise a Structural Pocket Book like this for the british marked is a fine idea & is much needed. This one does however not seem to be competitive to what one can find for other countries & there are quite a few errors in it.
Structural Engineers Pocket Book - By: D. Pass, 11 Apr 2008 
An outstanding reference guide for both Structural & Mechanical Engineers, however it does lack some detail. Having said that, to get alll the information the book offers for less than £30 is without doubt money well spent & would be ideal for students & Younger Engineers.
A must - By: Mr. M. D. Hughes, 08 Mar 2008 
My company now issues this book as standard. No detailed calcs provided but an excellent summery of everything a structural engineer needs to know.
Structural Engineer's Pocket Book - By: D. MacDonald, 16 Aug 2006 A valuable reference book. It would be hard to improve on the basic format. As someone else has mentioned, there are one or two typos (I assume the publisher is dealing with this) but I'd still not be put off by these: the book is worth its weight in gold as an everyday reference.
