Great book to keep in your pocket - By: Chris G, 16 Dec 2008 
Got this to help with my self build project, & has been a great one stop book for rules of thumb etc. I would recommend this to any one thinking about self build or even renovations.
Invaluable - By: Alexis, 04 Dec 2008 
Working as an architectural technician, I have found this book invaluable, I would imagine it would be useful for anyone associated with construction, architecture or building design
Invaluable... - By: Helen D-B, 23 Oct 2008 Received the book yesterday & my husband (who's an architect), hasn't been able to put it down. He thinks it's brilliant, informative & concise, he's using it now for work he's doing. Would recommend it to any student or Architect who needs referencein an easy to read format.
A book to literally be kept in the pocket - By: lil-d1985, 29 May 2008 Being an architecture student I keep this book with me whenever I am working on projects, be it at work or at university. It is unbelievable how much information Baden-Powell has managed to cram into this tiny book. Among others, some of the topics coveredin the book are common furniture sizes, staircases, brick types, soil, wheelchair user space requirements & even drainage, heating & lightbulbs! This book really is a MUST if you arein the architectural field & even if you aren't this book is useful for anyone doing any kind of construction, design or engineering. I would not have survived my degree without this book since it has lots of very useful, "must-know" information which may take ages to find!
An excellent book, you won't be disappointed.
Very handy - By: M. J. Bollons, 05 Apr 2008 I've referred to this almost every day. It's been even more useful than the Metric Handbook.
