I ordered this book new and it was damaged. The package was fine but the book wasn’t which isn’t the best especially when it’s pretty pricey. But other than that it was a good buy.

Beautiful and practical overview of construction methods

I've heard this book called the bible for designers and architects, and now I see why. Straight forward language, beautiful and concise illustrations, covering almost all the major construction elements and methods. I was glad to get the most updated copy which includes CLT. It has helped me from the first moment I cracked the cover.
