". . .yet another superb piece of research reference. . . .It can be stated without any hesitation that the two volumes on rolling by Roberts will remain unique for years to come and that, as a major source of reference, they now stand alone in the field. Both the present and the earlier volume are strongly recommended to every library, rolling mill and steel-industry supplier, to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of metalworking, production technology, mechanical engineering and metallurgy, and to research workers, lecturers and practising rolling technologists. "---Journal of Mechanical Working Technology". . .Coverage is very complete. . .The work is well illustrated and profusely referenced. "---Mechanical Engineering News
