The reason this book is Ring Bound is someone ran if off on a copier.The pages are only printed on one side. The copies are not even sharp. I can't believe that anyone would give this book a good review unless they had a vested interest in its sales. I just received my copy. Its said Biodiesel 2007 on the book, just as advertised. Yet much of the contents of this book where published in Sept 2001. There are some tables and facts that have not changed. But much of the book is outdated and behind the times. A great deal of additional information is now available and would be present in a book published in 2007. This book is titled "Biodiesel 2007" that is based on information 6 year old information. This is a highly regulated and rapidly changing field. Calling this book Biodiesel 2007 is misleading . I am sending it back.

Excellant resource

Highly recommended. Well rounded resource detailing the various concerns of the biodiesel industry, from the chemical composition of biodiesel through the various grants and subsidies available, to the particulars of running a succesful operation, this book covers it all. Well worth the money.
