Appears to be good - Not for me though
I am currently studying for the ARE (Architectural Registration Examination). I bought this book in hopes to have it help me learn new things with the book it goes with. However, the book does not come with answers and me being self taught, that is pretty much a must for me so that I have the ability to verify my solutions. If you were going to school and had an instructor that could rate your solutions, I am sure that this book would be great. That is why I give it four stars; I really can't complain about it only because it wasn't meant for me. I looked at a few of the questions and instantly realized that the problems were too basic for me, but that could be because I have been in the field of Architecture for about ten years now. If only I knew that it did not come with answers and that the problems were a little more advance, I would have been more happy. This book is more for a student.
