Summary: Great companion text!!!
Comment: As an architecture student i am overwhelmed every day with pieces of information and references as to where to get more. This text provides excellent examples and descriptions of numerous details in the construction world. The book has been extremely helpful in several of my current classes. I plan on using this text for as long as the book itself will stand. Too bad it's not a hardback!

Summary: This book was a steal
Comment: This book is jam packed with almost everything you could need to know about construction. When I say that, I mean it covers all of the major components. It does not walk you through tiling a floor, but as an example it does show the different methods of framing and provide clear illustration of how each method is done. I only wanted information on residential construction, but this book covers commercial building as well. The drawings are excellent. I found it tough to put the book down and found myself re-reading several sections because of all the information contained in them. It will serve as an excellent reference guide for all of my future projects. I have already changed many of the details for my upcoming project as a result of this book.

Summary: Concise reference--excellent book design
Comment: This is best for a quick review if you already know the material. It's too concise to learn from if you don't. Best part is the amazing drawings; the text is kept to a minumim.
