"The codes guidebook for interiors" was by far, the most useful and important college textbook in my college career. I had to buy this in my second year, I believe, and have used it immensely throughout my college years. It gets updated every now and then, but it's definitely worth the investment. No matter whether you are an ID student, mentor, teacher or practitioner, you will most certainly require to have this book on hand.

Purchased this book for classes back in college and it has remained a reference tool for me ever since. While I didn't think so back then, the book is full of useful information and diagrams. Great addition to any interior designers book shelf.
