pages are not in place
The book looks "like new" on the outside but inside there is a hold section where the pages are not bold together in the book as normal.

Amazing book for beginners
Great book for beginners looking to save some $$$ doing some renovations themselves. Great write ups and pics make it easy to understand. Second book purchased from this author and will def buy more

More to supplement framing knowledge.
Will not teach you framing from scratch. Its a collection of articles that are more "good ideas" rather than showing you how to frame from beginning to end. Better off with Scott Simpsons book.
