Book Reviews of Carpentry and Building Construction
Book Review: Wish Amazon sold CURRENT edition of this book!
Summary: 2 Stars
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 the fact that updated editions are available and what I actually purchased is an older edition (under the guise of NEW!).
So this review is not so much a criticism of the book but disappointment in Amazons less than satisfactory performance.
