okay submitted by tawesomenessk on June 23, 2012, 6:48pm okay book

Great quick reference! submitted by Baradlay on February 8, 2013, 11:10am I found this book very easy to understand. Maybe, there is a lot more to talk about building codes but if you want a grasp on the general idea, this book works very well.
