Marks' is legend among reference handbooks for engineering and for good reason, the book combines excellent commentary from industry and academic experts with plenty of formulas, tables and diagrams. It lists the references for each section right at the beginning along with the authors which is convenient if you want to dig deeper into the knowledge area.
Mechanical Engineering is a very wide area and while you study many topics in school, unless you actively use them professionally your knowledge gets fuzzy. For this reason having a handbook like this one is a great way to refresh your memory or learn about topics you haven't spent much time with before going on to more specific books on the topic. I still find it amazing how much information is squeezed into each section and readers will see that the knowledge density is staggering.
It is because of Marks' section on Welding that I learned about, and subsequently purchased, the excellent books on Welded Structures and Weldment Design from Lincoln Electric written by Omer Blodgett. I would have never run across these books in a store and despite being written in the 1960s, and mentioning slide rules, they contain a wealth of practical knowledge about welded steel structures still relevant today. You just can do the calculations on a computer and skip the nomograms these days, though I still like the nomograms ability to build your intuition of how a result will end up.
I can be confident from following that chain of references that other areas of Marks' would lead to similar quality references should I need them, and that is why this handbook is worth its weight in gold.

The best overall engineering book I've bought. Not extremely detailed but it covers everything. 5 years of college collected in one easy to read and understand, albeit heavy, book. I'm an electromechanical design engineer and this book covers all the little details that my college textbooks do and I don't have to carry 6 books with me. For the price it's the best book I own and use it for reference constantly at work. Hard to do better in my opinion.
Makes a great reference book to cover my 15 or so other engineering books. It could use more detailed coverage of some topics. If you're looking for something to replace a collection of books you'll have to look elsewhere, doesn't cover any design techniques or in depth analysis, at least not for what I do. It's more aimed at manufacturing or industrial engineers than mechanical or design. Still a great purchase for the money and extremely handy.
