Re: Piping Books

This is a good time to be a student of Piping Engineering. There are more good (great) books available today than ever before at one time.   For a long time we had to refer back to the Tube Turns book, "Piping Engineering" and the Kellogg book, "Design of Piping Systems" and these were really of limited value. These are STILL good to read as the newer books build upon the old information, but the larger number of good books that are actually IN PRINT now is a treasure trove the the older guys (like Luf Sir, who did the piping for Noah's Ark) never had. Enjoy the wealth,

Regards, John.
