Codes are Fun!, 23 Sep 2005
By K. Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Codes Guidebook for Interiors (Hardcover)
Could studying building codes actually be fun? Much to my surprise, when you combine this book with the companion study guide workbook it is. The author presents the information on the codes clearly and in logical order. I am studying for my NCIDQ exam and was really nervous about the "codes questions" until I got this book.

Excellent reference guide for IBC code, 16 Mar 2007
By M. Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Codes Guidebook for Interiors (Hardcover)
I am a registered architect, and purchased this book for the purpose of studying for the NCIDQ interior design licensing exam. I had no idea how clearly, simply, and comprehensively it would cover the IBC code (and some others). I'm sure it will be an asset for my NCIDQ preparation, but even more so, I have been able to reference it for my architecture practice.
GREAT BOOK!
