Can't get through Architecture School without this

This book includes details for virtually every imaginable situation in architecture. It is not only useful for creating details for your own project, but will also help you decipher the details in other people's projects. A necessary supplement to any Materials and Methods course.

Building Construction Book

Smooth transaction and great price. The packaging, however, is a little too much. I am not really sure why a used book was shipped in a big box filled with bits and pieces of styro foams. It's a little messy.

Excellent

Excellent condition for a used item and for the price too. The books from Francis Ching are always very pleasent to read and to have.
