These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 67 topics.
The quality engineer drops a print on your bench and asks: which revision are you inspecting to, and is it inches or millimeters? You're looking at the title block, and all the boxes run together.
You've read that chapter. The trouble is the handbook covers the title block in paragraphs: part number, revision, tolerances, projection, all in one block of text with no picture of the actual box. So the next morning, nothing's there.
In the book, the title block is one page. Every box is drawn and labeled: part number, revision, units, projection symbol and the note 'Interpret per ASME Y14.5-2018', each with an arrow pointing to where it sits on the print.
The rest of the book works the same way. Reading the vernier caliper, the feature control frame, what AQL really means, common cause vs. special cause, and what to do with a gage that fails calibration: each one gets its own page.
Next time the engineer hands you a print, you check the revision and the units, then read the frame. You know where to look, and you don't need the handbook to find it.
Measurement basics, hand tools and gages, reading the print, GD&T and the feature control frame, sampling by attributes, SPC and capability, the quality system on the floor, and review and exam prep: 71 pages, all illustrated
Think of it this way:
The customer's auditor is standing at your bench. He points at a feature control frame on the print and asks whether the hole is in position. The part is in front of you, and so is everyone's attention.
You've studied the frame page, so you read it left to right, the same as in the drawing: the symbol, then Ø with the value and the modifier, then the primary, secondary and tertiary datums, each box tied to a feature on the part.
The same goes for finding the AQL code letter, building an X-bar and R chart, working out Cpk with one example, first article inspection, and calibration: each topic on its own page.
Quality Inspector Illustrated is 8 parts and 67 topics, all drawn, and it finishes with the 8-step bench order, a formula sheet, the GD&T symbols at a glance and a glossary.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Accuracy vs. precision, resolution and the 10:1 rule, decimal inches, the 68 °F reference, and tolerance, limits and nominal.
Vernier, dial and digital calipers, outside and vernier micrometers, dial and test indicators, gage blocks, pin and thread gages, height gage, Ra surface finish and CMM basics.
The title block, third-angle projection, line types, section and detail views, hole callouts, Rule #1, and revisions and notes.
Feature control frame anatomy, datums and 3-2-1, form, orientation, position, MMC/LMC/RFS, bonus tolerance worked out, profile, runout, and the symbols that were removed.
What AQL means, the code letter, sample size and Ac/Re, normal, tightened and reduced inspection, double sampling, c = 0 plans, OC curves and defect classes.
Common vs. special cause, mean, range and standard deviation, the 68-95-99.7 curve, histograms, X-bar and R charts, out-of-control rules, p, np, c and u charts, Cp and Cpk, and Gage R&R.
Calibration and NIST traceability, receiving, in-process and final inspection, first article (AS9102), MRB dispositions, 5 Whys and fishbone, 8D, and ISO 9001/AS9100 for the inspector.
The 8-step bench order, the formula sheet, the GD&T symbols at a glance, the most frequent inspection errors, an exam day plan and a glossary.
At the end of the book: The 8-step bench order, a formula sheet, the GD&T symbols at a glance and a glossary.
Exam-style questions on gages, GD&T, sampling and SPC, each with the answer and a short explanation, so you find your weak spots before exam day.
The mistakes inspectors make most often, from reading a micrometer to closing a lot, each drawn before and after so you spot them on the bench.

PDF by email: We email you Quality Inspector Illustrated as a PDF, together with the two free books. It's a single payment: no installments, no extra charges.
You already know the tools. The book shows you what an inspector does with them, from the title block to the feature control frame, one page per topic.
AQL, control charts and Cpk are each worked through with one example, in the same order of steps. At the end you get the formula sheet and the practice questions to find your weak spots.
Keep it at the bench for the questions that come up on the job: what to do with an out-of-tolerance gage, how to read the frame, which MRB disposition fits.

Yes. It doesn't teach you to hold a micrometer. It shows how an inspector reads the print, the frame, the sampling table and the control chart, one page per topic.
The topics follow the areas of the ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) Body of Knowledge, with the technical content checked against US standards: ASME Y14.5-2018 for GD&T, ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 for sampling, the AIAG SPC and MSA manuals, SAE AS9102 for first article and NIST traceability for calibration. Every standard reference is marked so you can check it against the current edition. Measurements are in inches, at the 68 °F reference.
No. It's an independent illustrated study book, with no affiliation to ASQ, ASME, AIAG, SAE or any certifying body. It doesn't give you a certificate or credits toward one: you still take the exam with the certifying body. The book is what you study with.
No. It's a study and review aid. It doesn't replace formal training, your company's procedures or the current standards.
No. They're written for this book, in the style of the exam, so you can find your weak spots. They aren't official exam questions.

No more rereading the handbook and having nothing stick.
The title block, the frame and the vernier: you see them drawn, and that's it.
You walk into the exam and the audit knowing where everything is.
