Rubbish

Fri, 13 Mar 2015 | Review by: Samore H.

This is a classic case of false advertising. As a civil engineer I expected a design manual with calculations, guidelines and sketches. All the book contains is brainless commentary that would insult the intelligence of a high school student. Would a refund be too much to ask for?
