Building News Illustrated Construction Dictionary (With CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: Other better
Review: As a building inspector, this is the worst investment I have ever made. The version I bought is 407 pages. The words in the book are 4th grade level. I have never found a word in the book I was looking for. Not a real working construction book. There are some other better ones out there. The illustrations are also limited in number and importance. They chose to illustrate such important items as a dust mask, a cauling gun and a fireplace. We did sit around and get a good laugh from the book one day. Other than that, completely worthless.
