The book was OK, but it's very basic. Too much of the book had elementary chapters and too little meat I think. If you never did any underground work this book is good...for those that have there's probally a better one out there..I haven't found it so I'm not sure. The book had mostly on how to operate a backhoe, how to dig around utilities and stuff. I was looking for surveying hints..there were some but not much. I probally should have looked for a surveying book..but that would make too much sense.
Excellent

Not too hard to comprehend. This was suggested reading for the Louisiana General Contractors License Exam. I found it informative.

This book is heavy. The lightest, easiest reading is in the index - from there on it's strictly business and takes you through the very bowels of the whole business. You could literally start, run and retire from the business with this book as a guide. It is very in-depth.
