I have an older print version. It is indispensable but it weighs 20#.
Living on the road without it, I thought I'd get the Kindle version and have it in my lap top.
But, many illustrations (especially those of printed tables) are presented at too low a resolution to read easily on a 1,900 x 1080 monitor.
Because of this, the Kindle book fails to transmit to the reader significant parts of the information the authors worked so hard to present.
I was given a refund and I appreciate that.... but I'd rather have the book in a form that works.
Note to the Publisher: Fix the problem, issue a statement that you have done so, & I'll buy the book again

Perry's has improved since the 6th edition of the mid-80's. The eighth edition does what it is supposed to do: provide a broad coverage of our sprawling profession. I like it that it provides comparison tables for equipment allowing an engineer to identify which unit operation works best for a given material or operating conditions. Also, the superior graphics have returned. There has been some re-shuffling of sections and the number of pages have grown substantially to cover such new topics as security and inherently safe design in Process Safety and solids handling. These topics were ignored in previous editions. The economics section has been expunged from the eighth; this is sad since so many of my peers have forgotten the importance of this section to our profession.
This version of Perry's has returned to my side shell. The 6th serves as a stop in my basement bookshelf. The 4th remains on the main shelf.
