Good construction book
Been asked to attend a level 2 brick course in September and thought I need to update my basic knowledge. The course tutor suggested this as an extra book on top of the course book. It’s a hard back book easy to read, identify information, has good colour pictures, with short block notes. Not a course book BUT very good for beginners, level 1 or 2 studentVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
