| A topic I can comment on! I got my degree in Manufacturing Engineering, and work in hardware engineering. Funnily enough, I’m writing this on a shuttle that left the factory today on my way to the hotel. The go to for my undergrad was Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing [1]. It gives a surface level understanding and isn’t too dry most of the time. It’s an interesting book that you can just open up and learn something new in. It’s more of a reference book than the “narrative” books that were linked too. It’s probably what people think of as a “Manufacturing Book.” Then there’s the Bible, Machinery’s Handbook [2]. This probably isn’t what most people are looking for in a manufacturing book. Think of it as more of a giant list of tables and suggestions when trying to actually build something. It’s the one book I’ll always have at my desk, regardless of what I’m working on. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Modern-Manufacturing-Mat...

I can second the recommendation for Fundamental Modern Manufacturing. This was required reading for my two hands-on manufacturing classes. They have so many manufacturing processes I hadn't heard of, and very good descriptions of them.
