just starting out in the field and looking to get a heads up on a
welding course i am taking next year, if you could buy just one book
that gives an introduction to all the major welding processes, what
would it be? i have a very dated Haynes tech manual which looks pretty
good, so was thinking of maybe getting the newest version of that, im
in New Zealand so anything i buy will cost a small (or large truth be
known) fortune, so really want to just get one book. thanks in
advace.
Marlbra.

rprocess of choice, available free from millerwelds.com.

Good books on welding are very few indeed. I know of only one I would
recommend: "Welding Principles and Applications" by Larry Jeffus. That
one's pretty good. If you're having trouble with some particular thing
you can go look up just that exact thing (e.g. a vertical butt weld with
MIG welding) and he will have the process described.
