This book was just ok. It contains lots of information on material selection, and some basic design tips. It will be a good reference book for the future, but
* It is poorly written: it uses terms without explaining them (or explains them several paragraphs later)
* It mostly covers a general overview of the injection molding process, and lacks depth on the actual design of plastic parts (which is what I expected the book to focus on).

Dr.Malloy’s book reflects the common problems an engineer would face while designing a plastic part. His book takes all the possible design problems that one might not even expect. He deserves 10,0000000**********’s.

The book is very comprehensive and I got a few important points out of it. The frustration is that it used technical terms from the very beginning, which were either explained (or inferable) later in the book or never explained at all. I wonder how much background in plastic molding the other readers had if they found this easy to read. Also, the sentence structure reminded me of my college term papers: Never say, “It smells bad” when you can say “Issues of noxious fumes that were held to have a negative olefactory effect have limited the usefulness of this particular composition.”

This book reveals the basic background required by personnel in the plastics field in designing parts for injection molding. It has many examples and illustrations of real-life applications instead of endless derivations of equations. It is a very useful, well structured, easy to follow guide for assisting in your design and knowledge of polymer related products.

As a non- engineer, but fully engaged in the Injection Molding business as a recruiter of Plastic Part Design Engineers, this book delivers technical information but easy to read and comprehend. Not just a book on theory, but practical applications. I recommend for non-engineers and engineers.
