"Well organized, very educational, current and useful" according to OlyNomad. I'm a carpenter/commercial Superintendent and I got this book mainly for personal interest reading and study. Very comprehensive, well-organized and laid out, practical and educational book. I especially appreciated how current the information was, the range of information they covered and that they managed to cover even the most technical aspects in a way that was easy enough to understand..

It saves mistakes and reprints.There are a lot of good tips for students on drawing details and design from a structur. Comprehensive and easy to read Alex I don't quite follow the organization of the book, but the content is good. Great reference even after the class is finished.
