4.0 out of 5 stars LA Graphic Standards, February 8, 2009
This review is from: Landscape Architectural Graphic Standards (Ramsey/Sleeper Architectural Graphic Standards Series) (Paperback)
The book as a specific product is very helpful. It has page upon page of useful information for in the field. (and i have been told from an editing committee member that the only difference between the student ed. and professional is some 'fluff' and better paper) overall it's a great tool for any landscape architect, as well as being fairly compact and lightweight for what it is.
