An excellent resource
The 13th edition is still a very good book to have. The volume has been reduced somewhat, even though it's been padded out with info on current methods of building practice. I think the parts of the sections which have been omitted aren't necessarily essential & therefore not overly worth bothering about. - if you already own previous editions, you can always find those things there. The up to date construction details are very useful for professionals & others looking into the building industry alike. The newly laid out reading format takes a moment to get used to, if you have previous editions, but it does make sense after a short while. All in all a great building systems & design reference book.

Very useful and well put together.
Quality book. Clearly written and enjoyable to read. Covers the vast majority of construction elements. Can be a little too brief and further research of individual topics may be required.
