Less a "complete handbook" than a better-than-average framing primer. Steve Summers At 230 pages I didn't expect much beyond a quickie how-to-add-a-room book, but was pleasantly surprised at how much useful information was packed into this thin book. It is light on text, but heavy on excellent color-coded drawings which quickly cover the essential ground on how an orthogonal house is (usually) framed, and it includes a useful appendix of (generalized) span tables for different woods and nailing schedules for different fasteners.Only a. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. very detailed drawings are very helpful.. Perfect, just what I need Thomas Berkley Perfect, just what I need
