Book Reviews of Building Construction Illustrated
Book Review: Very useful for understanding small-scale construction
Summary: 5 Stars
The first edition was entirely hand-drawn (the 2nd ed. may be as well) and covers the difference between a hip and a gable roof, slabs, grade beams and other details of modern construction. If you want to know the difference between western platform and balloon framing, this is a fine book. It's primarily a reference book, but it could be read cover to cover.
