Master the language of precision engineering. GD&T is the symbolic language that defines how much a manufactured part may vary and still work — and this handbook teaches all of it, from first principles to advanced application, in one rigorous, richly illustrated volume built around ASME Y14.5‑2018 with ISO GPS comparisons throughout.
Whether you are an engineering student, a practicing mechanical or manufacturing engineer, a machinist, a quality inspector, or a designer, this book takes you from why a round tolerance zone accepts more good parts than a square one all the way to composite position, profile, runout, tolerance stack‑up, and functional gauge design — with every equation derived, every worked example solved step by step, and every practice problem answered.
Inside, you will learn to: read and write feature control frames, datums, and every geometric symbol; apply material condition modifiers (MMC, LMC, RFS) and compute bonus tolerance and virtual condition; build datum reference frames and use datum targets on castings, forgings, and non‑rigid parts; master position, profile, orientation, form, and runout through fully worked examples; perform tolerance stack‑up analysis (worst‑case and statistical) and design functional gauges; and connect GD&T to limits & fits (ISO 286), surface texture, CAD / model‑based definition, and inspection.
What sets this handbook apart: 27 chapters, 170+ technical figures, roughly 100 fully worked examples, a comprehensive problem set with solutions, complete case studies that tolerance real parts end to end, and quick‑reference appendices. A book to learn from and a reference to keep on the bench.
Stop guessing what a drawing means. Speak the language of precision — clearly, correctly, and with confidence.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
