I came across this book last year when it was about $45.00 and put off buying it because it was close to Christmas and figured I'd just ask for it. At Christmas the book jumped up to about $150. I've seen it climb up to as high as $500. I'm not interested in buying it at that price, and I don't know of many people that are.

All of the reviews I've read about it are good for the most part. There are a few that say it's not technical enough in some areas and some that say it's too technical for what they were looking for. I expect some bad reviews anyways, I'd be more cautious if there weren't any.

Obviously there is a demand for it, or people wouldn't be asking such a ridiculous price for the thing. My goal is to show the publisher that there's enough of a demand for it that they might consider printing another edition.

Anyone here interested in this book at all?

im interested and since my dad pays for almost any book i want i think i might get it. if he will pay or can find a cheaper price.
 
I have it since it is almost a bible although there are a few software programs which can calculate pipe and pump tolerances. There is an unwritten rule to simply double whatever result you get anyway so keep that in mind when trying to calculate things to the nth degree.
 
I guess what I need to do is make a poll on whether or not you would buy this book at lower price if it were back in print.
 
Okay I created a poll for this here.

Please go vote, I want this damn book.
