Summary: civil drafting technology
Review: I purchased this book with the hopes that it would help me understand civil drafting. There is no answer section to check my work. So,,,I do not know if I am on the right track with my understanding.
Does anyone know if there is a solutions manual?
Rating: 
Summary: This only thing this book is good for is to start a fire.
Review: This book throughly sucks. The title should have been An Idiot's Guide to Surveying because only an idiot would buy it. I keep it handy in the bathroom in case I run out of toliet paper and need something to wipe my ass with. I would give it a five turd rating for that use.

Summary: Dated, generic, and overpriced
Review: When I read the word Drafting in the title I assumed this book would focus on civil drafting as it applies to modern (CAD) technology. Instead there are many references to manual drafting which few drafters use any more. A better title would leave the technology out of the title and substitute the word theory, thus letting the buyer know that this is a generic overview of civil drafting theory, not a book that a CAD operator will get much use out of. In my estimation this book has a Value of around thirty dollars only. Unfortunately, pricing trends seem to indicate that any words committed to print by the The Gods (engineers, programmers, etc.) are worth their weight in gold, regardless of their value.
