 Least useful book I've got July 6, 2008
Michael Bryan (England)
Probably the worst and least useful reference book I've got. I've been training as a home inspector (with very little relevant experience) and, about 90% of the time, this book has failed to provide the definitions I've sought. These definitions have always been easily available elsewhere.
 Essential March 11, 2008

This, in my opinion, is essential for any student of architecture or related disciplines. The list of terms (and accompanying explanations) is almost endless. I'd say this book is a bout as good as Google, better in many ways, all information you can trust. Never again will you be baffled when a client orders somethign you've never heard of or your boss asks for a drawing of something you don't know. Keep this on you at all times. Very good book indeed.

A very comprehensive and well described dictionary of building terms. Extremely useful for both students and anyone involved in the construction industry.

I'm an electrician who's doing a self build, but know's nothing about building terminolgy. Great to be able to deal with builders and designers and be able to understand what there on about! I thought distemper was a disease a dog had! Well worth the money.
