4.0 out of 5 stars Code Book importance, January 26, 2009

By	C. Archacki "virgil" (MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is very helpful for understanding what the code requirements are for a building. However, this book will be outdated as IBC will be coming out with a new edition some time later this year so be for warned that your money might go to waste if you decide to purchase this book now

5.0 out of 5 stars International Building Code, June 28, 2008

By	Mary M. Mcausland - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book provides me with all the information I need to do both residental and commercial building in the United States. Most states use most of the IBC with some amendments, which can be found on the state websites. Allows us to do business with ease.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is..., July 27, 2008

By	T. Strayer (Oregon, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not really sure how to review this, but it is necessary for those of us who want to stay compliant and up to date with building regulations. It isn't necessarily easy to read, but like I said, it is what it is. :)
