This book should be on the shelves of every interior designer- it's so thorough that it's a little cumbersome at first. It should be used as a reference book, it gives chapter-by-chapter explanations on the specifics for the construction and application of windows, casegoods, partitions, etc. If there is ever any doubt in a designers mind as to how exactly something is constructed or works when it comes to the specifics of interior design, this book's for you.

Has lots of tables and charts, and is adequately explained. The author also writes study guides for standardized architecture tests, and that pretty much sums up the style: no opinions, just facts. Very thorough though. Personally I don't need a whole chapter on locks, but I suppose there are those who do. Presentation and graphics are a bit low-rent for an architecture book.

Even though I ordered this book years ago, I remember receiving it just as expected! The delivery time was quick and the book was in perfect condition!

very informative book, especially good for beginner who started to learn about interior construction. but my book was badly crumpled after i recieved it. this was the first time i got a book in such a bad state by Amazon. perhaps they should relook into the way they packed books, which was sent to thousands of miles away to customer.

if not, this is a near perfect book for me.

Purchased for college level course. Great service, no problems. Would not hesitate to purchase again.

Though the seller claimed that the book was new after receiving it, I discovered that the book was used with highlighted lines (green, pink) in several pages! I wasn't interested in a used book as it was a gift add to that that I was charged for a new book.
