Best beginner or entry level boiler operator book you can buy.
The best book for an apprenticeship type level boiler operator. 20 years ago this was required reading at my trade school and it helps anyone get the first level of boiler license you state has. The best beginner level boiler book you can find. I still have mine from 20 years ago and this new edition has added a lot to it.

ISBN numbers
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE ISBN # WHEN YOU ORDER A BOOK!! I assumed that when I typed in the ISBN # that Amazon would only produce the books with matching #s. I was wrong. Amazon brings up all books with the same name NOT the same ISBN #. I just spent $40+ dollars on a book that is outdated. I realize that most editions are very close in content but this could cause some real issues for somebody. The book holds a lot of good information otherwise.

Basic fundamentals and a decent read
It’s a good basic boiler book even if you’ve been in the trade for years.
Great Birthday –
Must have
This was required for my boiler course. My instructor told us we would be studying more from the High Pressure book, but through the life of your boiler career this book would be one of your bibles. I’m glad I listened to him as this book helped tremendously for my state exam. This is a must if you plan on low pressure boiler work.
