"I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading this book, it
was hard to put it down. It was much like a well loved novel. The
proposed organization of this book was great. It is well written.
The information in the charts and illustrations fit each topic.
Many of the chapters were short in length which made it easier to
offer one a chance to absorb the subject better.... There is enough
information in this book that several syllabuses can be made up for
several semesters."
"The information contained on all plan areas is great. My students
learn very much from this text. It is very self explanatory, easy
to read and comprehend. Illustrations shown throughout the text
help students understand what is being taught."
"This book provides a very comprehensive outlook into residential
architectural design and drafting. It discusses all aspects of
architectural design."
