    • Must-have reference book for Architects or builders

Required for my husband's work as he is an associate architect. He references this regularly and it's a staple in his library for work.

    • Excellent book
Format: Paperback
I saw this book at the library and loved it so much, I had to buy it for my reference collection. I love seeing the graphic details of construction and this book does that very well. Great images and the visualization really helps explain how things work.

    • Nice pictures inside
Format: Paperback
It's a neat book to have on your coffee table. I've looked at it a few times when I've considered different diy projects. Nowadays you can find all of this stuff on youtube along with some guy with 20 years of experience willing to spoon feed you the knowledge so it's little more than a novelty or a nice gift for a father in law. Those are my $.02 ... show more
