Hi Steve: Easy question, Klein Wassink is THE BOOK. It is head and shoulders above the others. Coombs: Very good book, focused primarily on board fab with some discussion on assembly. Lea: A dated, once very good book. Rahn: Average book. Actu

Scott: I�m not familiar with some of the things you�re talking about, but let me: * Agree with Russ & Peter regarding immersion silver. * Give some snips of information on the substrate side of things that might help you to tie this together. � FR-1
