I am an architect with 40 years experience, so my concern was that the book might be too elementary. I learned some things and got my money's worth. I recommend the book.

I have worked as a trim carpenter for many years and this is by far the best book out there. The illustrations are abundant, relevant and code specific. Truly the only book you will ever need!
