4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Educational Purposes,
By David Yuen (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction Print Reading (Paperback)
This book a good introduction for blueprint reading, there are 2D and 3D drawings that help readers to visualize the information on the drawings. At the end of each chapter are review questions and definitions of key words, which are useful especially for students. It comes with large construction drawings on three projects that were actually built. Although they should have printed them on separate pieces of paper instead of having them on both sides of the sheet, this makes it hard to compare and study those construction drawings. Also, the paper used for publication I find is a bit thin, you have to read the textbook on a flat surface, otherwise it will curl up. The same goes with the construction drawings, after a couple of times of folding and un-folding, the papers tend to tear easily. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the building industry.

This review is from: Construction Print Reading (Paperback)
This was a lot cheaper than buying it from the local store. It seems brand new, with no writings and includes all of the construction drawings that were supposed to come with it. I'm happy...
