These are really great, only sometimes there are typos, other times I am pretty sure its a typo, but I have doubts, maybe I am just doing the problem wrong. Anyone out there care to help proof read some of the problems, so I can make corrections and get some peace of mind? I have questions about their "Mechanics" book.

Yeah, I've got that one. Just give me some page numbers and i'll check it out.
 
I bought my first REA book ten years ago. I am amazed that they haven't cleaned up the typos by now.

I prefer the Schaum's Outline Series and the qualifier exam preparation books by World Scientific.
