Construction Primer (Paperback, 2nd ed)
Tue, 27 Jun 2017 | Review
by: stanton B.
A bit disappointed, like they say never judge a book by its cover.
Details are outdated and in some cases, it doesn't comply with SANS 10400 regulations. I had to send it back for a refund.
its dual text (English and Afrikaans) makes the book thicker than what it really needs to be. Images are too small and black and white doesn't really give you a true reflection of the reality of construction details.
The cover gave me a sense of contemporary information, but it quite the opposite..a very 70's look and feel to the detailing and information pics.
