Building Construction Illustrated
from Wiley
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:

Book is very good for research and beginners learning building construction. I have used the earlier editions often for research. But the 4th ed. the print and the size of font is smaller and lighter in color and is hard to read even which my glasses on.
