5.0 out of 5 stars Codes are Fun!, September 22, 2005
By 
K. Williams (Western Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Codes Guidebook for Interiors (Hardcover)
Could studying building codes actually be fun? Much to my surprise, when you combine this book with the companion study guide workbook it is. The author presents the information on the codes clearly and in logical order. I am studying for my NCIDQ exam and was really nervous about the "codes questions" until I got this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference guide for IBC code, March 16, 2007
By 
M. Williams (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Codes Guidebook for Interiors (Hardcover)
I am a registered architect, and purchased this book for the purpose of studying for the NCIDQ interior design licensing exam. I had no idea how clearly, simply, and comprehensively it would cover the IBC code (and some others). I'm sure it will be an asset for my NCIDQ preparation, but even more so, I have been able to reference it for my architecture practice.

GREAT BOOK!
