### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a tremendous insight
*by O***N on 5 August 2020*

I have been interrogating Larrin's website for a few months and the wealth and bredth of knowledge within his site is staggering. What this book does is lay out that content in an easy way to understand and, most importantly in a structure and format that takes you on a knowledge journey so that you don't need to keep referring back and forth.For anybody that is interested in why certain steels behave in their certain ways or, why one type of steel seems to perform better or worse dependent upon its use etc., then this book will be a fascinating read for you.Superb!
