Great reference guide to codes. This is specific to 2006 IBC (which when I was using it wasn't yet under enforcement in NY). I've also heard that it's a good study guide for the AREs.
Better explanations of international code and how to interpret it than my instructor in class last semester. Far better. Clear, simply organized, easy to use. I would not have survived without it.
