Click on the link below to download a
portion of Barnett's Manual 4th Edition to check whether the publication you
have or are being offered is a pirate version of this copyrighted work.
Compare the first page of the suspicious copy to page 17 of this download to see if they match. Copyright
information appears on page 2 of this download.
For further verification, the following 6 points are
true of pirated versions, but not of the authentic version:
1. No title page, contents page, registration
page, author biography and guide to volumes (these items make up first 16 pages
of original work).
2. Starts with "Chapter 1 - Basic Mechanical Skills", instead of with
Introduction chapter.
3. 684 pages long (instead of over 1000).
4. Letters in header fonts appear garbled (overlap each other) on some computers
(check pages 21-35, 111-160, 185-312, and 329-364).
5. Chapters are missing title page and contents page at beginning of each
chapter.
6. 200+ page Appendix (Chapter 39) is missing (last page is numbered 38-74 on
screen).
If you have not seen the version you are being offered,
ask the seller questions about items 1-6 before buying!
