4Written in a plain English Style  Jul 29, 2003 By Donald "Instructional Designer is the area of Workforce Development."
I have been teaching print reading for over 4 years, & this is my required text. Print Reading for Construction is written in a very plain English style and works very well in diverse classroom settings. In addition, this text provides a great deal of sample building plans for sharpening your skills.

4good reference book  Dec 28, 2007 By Christopher D. Williams "Willy"
This book shows all aspects of print reading. It can help take away the brain freeze many people get when they look at a set of prints for the first time. However, there is no better practice than to consistently read prints in the field, since many prints still are not written in the same formats and structure.

5Terrific Material for introductory course in print reading  Jan 18, 2009 By Terrance R. Banach "Terry the book addict"
This material is great base material from which lesson plans can be built and allows me to safely recommend this book to building trade students for an introductory course that I will be giving this spring. The included drawing packet allows the students to work with real construction drawings instead of simple sketches that are not comprehensive enough for learning the overview required to interpret actual on the job drawings.

3Print Reading for Construction, 9781590703472  Jul 25, 2011 By Sasha
This is sold as a package in campus bookstores for college curriculum programs. The package includes a write-in workbook and a large folder with 116 prints for around $59.25. If you are going to need this for a class you better make sure both the book and prints are included in the purchase. Be sure what looks like a deal is not a waste of money and time.

3Not as advertised ( no spiral bound anything)  Jan 24, 2009 By Wayne G. "Shrew"
No Spiral bound as advertised, a lot of folded drawings in a folder! No Book included like the one I used to have. same photo on Cover,
don't let that fool you, all you get is a lot of blueprints.
and NO Spiral Bound instructional book. or anything spiral bound!
