I bought this instructional book to help me study for the N.C. residential contractor's exam. The online study program I bought referred to it frequently. It was helpful because it covered many aspects of carpentry that might differ from region to region. For example, we moved to N.C. from CA. I never used brick on the outside of a structure, always stucco. Glencoe adequately covered different aspects of brick and mortar techniques to prepare me for the test. I passed the examination on the first attempt. This tutorial, with others, helped me achieve that success.
Great book really good content and learning capabilities great for reference book

It is a good book for anyone who wants to have the basics of construction. I was glued to it for a few hours when I received the book. However, it is not a complete guide to pass the contractors exam. It has good information related to carpentry and building construction.
An excellent text book for the beginning carpentry enthusiast. I am taking an introductory carpentry class at a local community college and find the textbook as an excellent resource to begin to establish the fundamentals of work safety, tools, guidelines, etc. A solid investment!
