"Beautifully designed and resplendent with thousands of clear architectural illustrations, this title is an indispensable resource for all architecture Students, new architects, and libraries supporting architecture programs. Highly recommended." (Choice, December 2008, Vol. 46 No. 04)

Not Worth To Buy...
17 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is a vey Condensed Copy of the original one. It is a kind of disappointment for me when I got the delivery.

An abridgement of the ninth edition
13 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
At less than $40 for a used copy, the Student Edition can't be beat, as it provides most of the essential information from the complete Graphic Standards. The information is organized along the lines of Masterspec with additional sections on Energy and Environmental Design and Historic Preservation. It is certainly enough to get you started. It is also important to have relevant code books. Ching's Building Codes Illustrated is a good place to start. It is nice to have so much building construction information consolidated into one book.

A design classic
18 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
This a much cheaper yet still useful version of the architect's bible. Any person who designs space should have either this or the unabridged edition.
