A good, introductory text for those interested in CNC: building your own machine or running an existing one. It could also be read by those interested in the craft.
I found it to be very useful when building my machine and, upon completion of the build, to actually run the machine intelligently.
CNC is a very broad subject, but this book is a good introduction. You'll likely want to learn a specific area of CNC if you plan to continue in this realm.

Great intro to CNC for hobbyists or professionals who need to sound knowledgeable to justify their salaries.
