Great book for Educatioal and Practical Use

This book goes through the whole house from the foundation up, there are sections throughout the book which give emphasis on Healthy House and tips on Planning Ahead to avoid problems down the road.Appendix in the end are also useful for references on lumber dimensions, nail sizes, and other relevant information.3-D illustrations are easy to understand, and very thorough in explaining various components of construction.I would recommend this book to students, architects, or residential builders, and other people who are interested in wood-frame construction.
