It is said Tymoshenko is among the first who introduced mechanics to the states. I gave it five stars because of its historical importance. I have this book on shelf, due to it large influence but, to be frank, seldom referred to it. This book, like all other Tymoshenko's books, was written in a pure engineering fashion. If you are looking at these solved problems, like twisting of a prismatic bar, this is the book for you. It involves many classical technique for solving boundary value problems. However, if you are more theoretically orientated, there are much better presentations outside, from the moderate mathematical Fung's book, to the highly mathematical Green's book. It is my opinion that the beautiful theoretical parts of elasticity are absent in Tymoshenko.
This book is in very good condition, tight, no creases, corners are sharp and several markings or annotations in the book.
