Blueprint Reading: Construction Drawings for the Building Trade, by Kubba
Very good Book on Blueprints for Construction except the Images are TOO SMALL!!! My advice to the author / publisher is use higher quality larger images for your images. Otherwise, its a decent book and also gives interesting historical info about Blueprinting Methods.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
