I have a ton of home improvement type books, since I am a pro handyman – largely self taught. This book is hard to get through. It is cumbersome and poorly organized. Not recommended.

Though I have done framing and building as a home owner all my life, it is alway good to keep learning and this is a book that keeps you up to date. It gives you good pictures and explanaations on how to handle some trickier framing problems. I like it.

Unbelievable book for the low price. I haven’t ever had to wait more than a few days for any books from Amazon. This book came in time to complete a project.
