Reddit reviews Munson, Young and OkiishiÂs Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

Hey guys, this is the textbook - as you can see, it is really $950 for a used hard copy.


Reddit loves to fact-check, so I'm sure you'll find that you can buy the looseleaf version for $160, but if you check the reviews you'll see that it's been printed with no diagrams, making it almost useless (this is confirmed by someone I know irl who bought it for the course. This is also the version that our bookstore carries for $200, amazingly). You'll also see that you can buy the online version, which is nice, but for fluids you need lots of tables to use during tests and since having laptops open during tests is too much of a liability, the professor only allows hard copies of the tables for tests.


I'll be using a pdf version of the book (not one from Amazon, that's all I'll say...), and printing out the tables for the tests. If I'm not allowed to do that I'll just drop the course, because there's no way in hell I'm buying the $950 hard copy like she is pressuring.


Oh, and here are screenshots of the course syllabus showing that we do actually need the book, and yes it is only for a few weeks (4 actually, not 6 - the first 6 weeks are with another book which is sold for $215 at our bookstore)

It's https://www.amazon.com/Munson-Young-Okiishi%C3%82s-Fundamentals-Mechanics/dp/111884713X

Another thread points out: the text was $960 on amazon-through-third-party, but directly from the publisher for $286

LOL someone is selling this book for 10 Grand

What the Fuck

He already posted it elsewhere

What's the Author / Title / Edition / ISBN?

Edit: Thanks OP

If you check one of my links, you'll see hard covers are available.

There's even people listing the book on Amazon for $2000, $4,375, and $10,000.

Don't wait until last minute, and the bindered or binder ready pages should be exact copies of the hardcover.

>if you check the reviews you'll see that it's been printed with no diagrams, making it almost useless

No, that's not what bindered copies means. They're gonna be page for page copies of the textbook. In any case, if you shop early, the hardcover can be had for less than what you just imaged.
