I love this book already, got it today and have found that it's easy to find information in, it has color coded sections of information, so going to a section isn't that difficult after you know what the section has, but all the information is headed alphabetically, which means if you're working on plumbing OR electrical there are different sections of that info. BUT the book contains references to other sections of the book with page numbers included, so even if you're reading about plumbing on page 102 and other information is in a different section, the page for that reference is also listed in the information. AND my husband thought it was wonderful and so much more useful than other construction material he already had available. The sorted sections, the images with the information, the measurements added into the images as well as the information makes it a super valuable reference. In addition the authors describe ways to make stuff using materials like plywood which can be purchased without having to go to a special retailer.
