1not recommended  Jul 03, 2011 By Dave Fehr-Rose
I am a journeyman carpenter. I took trade math and got really good marks. I purchased this book as a review for future reference. I'm sorry but this is terribly written and is in serious need of being updated. Starts off by telling you how people now use computers for things (I 'm not kidding). It then proceeds to tell you why you might consider getting one and in the most painful way possible lists several ways computers are useful. A little further in it slams you with some math required for figuring out rafter length, no rhyme or reason, no building up to it just slam. Then proceeds to explain the math in a significantly more difficult way than we did in school. It then jumped to being able to solve a very simple math problem needlessly made complicated using a framing square and a straight board to figure out how much excavating a crew can do in 5 hours instead of 8. ... Did i mention it's really bad.

This OK for a partimer or as a guide for someone just learning. there is too much missing to complete a job.
