Understandable and Useful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I recently got the task of designing a decently sized structure. Although I had done carpentry projects for many years, I soon learned there were a lot of practical things about building design I didn't know. This book is the very best I found at our local library to answer the questions I had. I liked it so much I had to order one for my own library. Highly recommended.

I received the 1973 edition as a housewarming gift for my first fixer. That book is falling apart from use, and I'm buying the lastest edition today! It got me through many remodels, and even my dream home.
Center of the world in carpentry

This is the best carpentry and overall construction book I've ever read. This should be at the center of all of your construction books. I do construction in the Navy and we have some great books to learn from but this gives book gives you more info on standard construction practices, load sizes for lumber and such detailed information with pictures that can't be beat. I've owned an older edition and that helped me out alot, but this book is truly modern and up to date with construction practices going on right now. This is a must have and you won't go wrong.
