Excelent Yet Out of Print

I am a member of the Pulp and Paper Manufacturers Association and I hold a degree in Chemical Engineering. For the Pulp and Paper Industry, Smook's textbook is one that you will commonly find that is used a reference. It was recommended to me by another enginner active in the industry as well. It is an excellent source for interactions with unit operations in relation to several different types of papermaking methods currently in use. I highly recommend it!

The inustry standard

This book is the standard in the industry for a reason. It is concise and complete, touching on every aspect of papermaking.

Technically Sound

I work in the field of computerization and I manage the technology sales for my company in the P & P Industry. This is a book that I have given to several of my colleagues who need to get up to speed and understand how the industry works. Smook is very concise and describes all types of mills in our Industry. For the Engineer who needs an explaination of the unit operations in a mill and how they interact, this is the book. It is the de-facto standard.
