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.

The book is the equivalent of a college architecture textbook. It assumes you have had a basic mechanical drawing class and some exposure to architecture. Its outdated discussing using pencils when everyone uses mechanical pencils or when emphasis is placed on penmenship when we use computer fonts. On the other hand, the student is encouraged to use the latest technological advances. The author encourages making hand sketches of the complete drawing before transferring to a CAD program. It saves mistakes and reprints.
There are a lot of good tips for students on drawing details and design from a structural viewpoint. The illustrations of cross sections is excellent. Many architects have never worked construction and have a hard time visualizing how a building goes together. Plot, electrical, floor, and elevation plans are shown and discussed along with materials schedules. The book is a very good guide for architectural draftsmen.
What you will not find in the book is the thought-design process that an architect goes through with a client. I was disappointed that most house floor plans contained the same dysfunctional concepts that have plagued homeowners for the last 50 years- small closets, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and unused formal living and dining rooms. Exterior style has displaced internal function but the wow factor wears off within months of moving into the new residence. Ditto in apartment buildings and commercial offices/stores. But those should be discussed in class along with the drawing details that are so effectively done in this book. Too bad that it does not have an index in the back-that is the responsibility of the publisher. Overall this is a great book to have in your library.
