Mechanical Design Engineering, 6/e with Student Resources CD-ROM

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic, full of great information
Review: This is probably my most used reference book. It is very easy find the formulas you need when you need them.

The only down side is that the binding is poor and the book falls appart. Of course, this also shows the amount of use it gets.

Summary: The most complete book for a mechanical engineer student
Review: This one has got it all, from materials' stress to the design of many machine elements. It's comprehensive and easy to read. A piece of advice on the book, if you are a student, don't sell this book once you graduate, since it's got so much information, you will keep using it.
