4.0 out of 5 stars
Mildly Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Estate Home Inspection: Mastering the Profession (Paperback)
When one pays for a book, one expects to receive something a little special. The subject matter is, of course, limited to a small target population, resulting in limited distribution and higher unit cost. Having said that, no matter what the cost, one does not expect to encounter typos or incomplete sentences and topics, as found in this book. On page 75, for example, the last sentence in the left column reads "Wall sectons are" and that's the end of the thought, the topic ends there! The new topic, Platform Framing, begins in the right colum of that same page. Also, some of the illustrations are not completely clean and clear, like they've been copied on the copy machine too many times. I almost expect a hardbound edition with color photos or illustrations. What justifies this book costing more than most of its competition? Yes, I'm happy to add it to my library. No, I don't consider it a good value. And, once again, typos and omissions are unforgiveable. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Not for the beginning Inspector,
By King "Fireman" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Estate Home Inspection: Mastering the Profession (Paperback)
I used this book as a text to getting certified and my foot in the door to starting my own business. Thank Heavens I have a fair amount of background in many of the fields already. The author strikes me as someone who used a filing cabinet of notes and articles to assemble a book without refining the thoughts before they went to press. I was disappointed that a school would choose this text for it's students. Despite that, and the typos, some good information can be gleened from it's pages.

This book is very well thought out.
