Carpentry & Building Construction is a comprehensive carpentry program that focuses on residential construction with many procedures also applying to light commercial construction. The informative text provides detailed, heavily illustrated information about materials, tools, and processes, with many step-by-step procedures.

Includes hardbound student edition aligned to the content standards.

Wealth of information, but this book is tailored for students, something a high school teacher would have students do homework assignments out of, it has test and reviews and such things in this book. When I opened the book for the first time, my mind immediately remembered high school. It is formatted and organized for teacher/student use, but if your an established wood man looking to learn about residential construction, it’s not that bad if you can learn to ignore this “ text book” style of book and focus on the subject areas at hand, because a lot of it is elementary stuff to an experienced wood man/woman. If your new to the trade, this book may be something good.
