This book comes with a dvd full of cad details of contemporary work. It was a great tutorial for me during a recent deadline to submit for some publications. In terms of what works/fits/doesn't at the scale of a book, this will be my bible for a long time to come.

The construction details given in this book are invaluable. I have often been frustrated by many architecture books that do not look under the skin of buildings.
