I am looking to be a design engineer and I was waning some recommendations on what books are good reference books for this. The two books that I have been able to find are Mark's Calculations For Machine Design and Machine Designers Reference by J. Marrs.If anyone knows anything about these or other books please give feedback or other books that might be better. If possible I would like a book that doesn't have too much extraneous information. Thank you.
