can you reccomend a Welding book

Anyone recommend a good book on welding with a nice MIG section and also with purdy pictures of welds and troubleshooting the crappy welds?

 

I'll second that.........

This one I have at work today and covers basic and advanced techniques with illustration.

 

Best overall book on the market: Welding Principles and Applications by Larry Jeffus. It's a textbook used by most technical schools and covers pretty much everything. ISBN 1-4018-1046-2.

 

I second the Larry Jeffus book.

 

I 3rd that.

I use it in my Advanced TIG classes. It's hell of a book with tons of good reading and illustrations.

It's worth the money,just don't leave it in class on the last day of the semester. ($100 lesson learned,hah)

There are 2 non textbooks that I use and rely on because all the information is related to car building. They are:
Welders Handbook,
publisher HP books,
authors, Richard Finch and Tom Moore
and
Metal Fabricator's Handbook
HP books 709
Fournier

I don't know if they are still in print, but I have had good luck using Amazon used books website.
