Maybe ill check this book out and see if its any less dry than the one I used. The text we read was pretty boring and many times you had to read an entire chapter (sometimes 20 textbook pages) in order to understand things because everything wouldn't come together until the end. Id say the one hugely redeeming quality was the thoroughness of the chapter on Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing for the guys taking the class that somehow managed to sneak in without taking the GD&T course first.
