One of the most useful books I carry!
If you're looking for a simple quick reference, this is the book for you. For its size, it is packed with useful information. Working on projects, I find myself checking it multiple times a day - there's just so much in it that's useful to me as an architecture student, whether I'm working on class assignments or personal projects.

Love it.
I'm a licensed architect that left the job market for a few years to care for my kids. This book really help refresh my memory without a whole lot to carry around. For anything a lot more extensive, you do need additional references. That is usually the case anyway.

my go-to
as a recently licensed architect, this was my go-to during the proposal and planning phases of several projects. it's like having a personal mentor in my pocket, without having to go refer to all the code books... very helpful resource.

Very good information
I read it as supplement to prepare the ARE exam. Good information for beginner who has not enough experience in this field.

Not readable
I wish there was a preview of the digital version. I found out the expensive way that this book is not as readable, and it is hard to navigate as well...I want my money back!
