From an Interior Design alumni standpoint, I believe this particular book being one of the most important and useful in Interior Design and Architecture careers. Despite the book being thick, filled with text, with just a few drawings here and there, it's very informative and well structured. It's packed with useful information in regards to building, construction, detailing, materials, sizes and whatnot (you get the gist). A must have for any ID, Arch professional. Recommend

Boring, I know, I used this as a study guide, read it through 3 times, very applicable! I would not reccomebd this book unless preparing for the NCIDQ or as a college course. Good book none the less, was my companion for months
