Gripping... let me tell ya.

Actually, in my trade this book is quite useful. It is NOT exactly relaxing weekend reading for those not in architecture, engineering, and construction.

It is NOT what I considered a well-organized book. Funny, that, since it is the building code adopted by so many jurisdictions across the country. The index is lacking. The table of contents is even worse. If you are looking, for example, for a minimum door width and you ONLY look at the chapter on egress systems you will MISS any requirements in Chapter 11, accessibility. Applying the code is probably best left to your design professionals, consultants, and building officials. I would NOT try to design a building out of the code if I had no previous experience.
