Editorial Review: Product Description: "Carpentry and Building Construction" is widely used for vocational building construction programs in secondary and post-secondary schools. The fifth edition has been completely updated and expanded, so you can be sure your teaching is technically correct and state of the art. This comprehensive text covers everything from print reading to painting. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Only resource you needIf you didn't go to Technical School or are a member of a union, and are not afraid, then this is the only resource that you need. It tells you everything that you must know to tackle any construction project that there is. It is easy to read and has great illustrations to accompany the text. Rating:  - Wish Amazon sold CURRENT edition of this book!I purchased this book as part of a contractors licensing course for classroom instruction. All of the instructors comments regarding this book alluded to page numbers and particular passages of the text. To my utter dismay, I was sold a previous edition of this book and the references were of no use to me. Unfortunately for me (and fortunately for those who are provided with the current edition) is the fact that the CURRENT edition is an extensive re-write. Shame on Amazon for not alluding to ... Read More Rating:  - textbookThis is a text book. It does not cover any area of building fully. There is a review section and review questions at the end of each chapter. If your looking for a text book I'm sure it's OK. I need a how to book and this was not it. Rating: - The Definitive Work on Residential ConstructionThis book shows anyone the technical aspects of home construction in very clear terms. The formulas are excellent for figuring the costs of a project. The format is very simple to learn and the tests at the end of each chapter summarize the material well. Rating: - Good for students, but....The previous editions of this book contained a lot of reference information and illustrations for both novice and experienced home carpenter. This edition has changed the emphasis to students primarily, with larger type but less specific reference material such as hanging doors, special framing problems, etc. Disappointing.
