Building Codes Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the 2021 International Building Code

Very useful and interesting book for Architects

This is one of the clearest textbooks I've had opportunity to own (and I glad I didn't get a digital edition - this is a book I want in my hands). The illustrations are very well done and perfectly reflect the descriptions in the data.

I just received this book. It has page numbers (prior copies did not). After quickly looking through the book, I do not notice any text missing, specifically on the left side of the pages. (I would compare against the specific pages prior reviewers have taken photos of, but I do not know which pages they are because there were previously no page numbers.)

This is a very helpful text for students and those studying for the ARE.

Timing and product quality on spot, as advertised.

I needed this for my college course. My college uses eBooks, but when I'm dealing with a subject I'm not comfortable with I'd prefer to have a book that I can hold in my hands and flip back and forth across the pages.

Great Purchase and very educational for Architects

I’m so disappointed to be giving this product one star. The actual CONTENT itself is amazing and super helpful, especially for Architecture students learning about building codes. BUT I noticed as I was reading and studying for my test that content is missing along with the page numbers (so if you wanted to reference the table of contents, you’ll be flipping the pages forever bc they’re not numbered). What makes this the most disappointing is not that is was a faulty product, but when I reached out to get sent a replacement book, IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. Both of the books that I got here (the original that was defective and the other book to replace the defective one is ALSO defective). I ordered this book in advance so that I’ll be able to study for my test this coming week and due to the error of both books, it leaves me at an inconvenience. PS: this might be a manufacturing problem bc if you reference the original book on Google, it has all the content; that’s how I knew things were missing. You can see from my pictures that there’s tall blank rectangles on the pages where text should be…

DE Teilweise fehlt der Text bzw. Sätze beginnen und enden einfach unvollständig. Wichtige inhaltliche detailpunkte fehlen einfach. Die Seiten sind nicht einmal durchnummeriert. EN Sometimes the text or sentences are missing and simply end incompletely. Important content detail points are simply missing. The pages are not even numbered consecutively.

I was excited about the book...unfortunately both box and book were delivered wet..like wet garbage...
