Not a Keeper I have found the two earlier editions on my shelf to be absolutely invaluable ~ they are disintegrating from heavy use. But, I'm afraid that the old ones will wear even more, because the hair line print, both the text and the drawings in this edition (undoubtedly the best edition yet for content) is a chore. I don't know what they were thinking ~ going green by saving ink? I'm going to try to adapt to t. The content is excellent. The font used is absolutely horrendous and makes the book nearly unreadable [[VIDEOID:moCGQ9YGThe content is excellent. The font used is absolutely horrendous and makes the book nearly unreadable M.

Clever Ching communicates construction clearly. Another triumph for Ching. His ability to communicate through his excellent sketches is second to none. The basics of a wide range of construction materials and systems are laid in an orderly way which is easy for the uninformed to understand.
