A great resource book.

I came across this at a store one day, and I immediately bought it on the spot. Perhaps like me, you've been exposed to all those essential details of construction and detailing, but because you don't use them on a day-to-day basis, you've forgotten most of them. Or maybe you're a student that wants to absorb all the little details and bits of knowledge that Architects apply in their practice.

In the past, one would save these little tidbits in a sketchbook, or saved the information that manufacturers passed along in all those lunch presentations. Of course I still collect the information at those lunch presentations, but this book gathers all those little tidbits of pertinent information into a nicely presented book. It is a comprehensive collection of information with 3D drawings to help students (and young interns) understand what that 2D drafting object actually looks like.

This is a great item to have on your bookshelf, adjacent to your treasured Graphics Standards and/or Timesaver book(s). And the price here is 34% less than the face value that I paid for.

architectural graphic standard ALWAYS checked out in the library? and all you need to know is how wide the turning radius needs to be for this stupid parking lot? yea i've been there billions of times. my friends at school all started buying this book as a quick reference and it has great information inside. it's by no means exhaustive, but it definitely has enough to get a student by. the information is written and organized in a very accessible way. i highly recommend this book

Excellent book, very helpful.

This book is so helpful in my studies. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the profession, or students trying to get an edge in class.

I purchased this book because I had experience borrowing a copy of a friend. It helps when you want to keep working, but need to get specifics. This was you don't have to fish through the Internet for standards, they are easily available in the book.
