 Makes Sense out of the Building Code Jan 29, 2007
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
This handbook is a plain English guide to the Building Codes that are used (more or less) across the United States.
More or Less - means that the individual codes are used by most places, but not all. Some areas have enhanced the codes to strengthen particular areas. When new codes come in, it takes time for them to get approved all across the country, so some places will have the older version, some the newer.
Plain English - means that the codes themselves are written in what's called 'code text.' This is a quasi legal kind of writing that is intended to minimize errors in intrepretation, but which doesn't exactly succeed except that it succeeds in being difficult to read.
This book presents the code in an easy to understand format. It is much easier to read, but lacks the legal precision of the code itself. Use this book for understanding what the code means. Use the code itself if you are going to court, and reference this book if you're having to explain it to a jury.
This is an excellent approach, and the book is very well written and cross referenced to the code itself.

A helpful reference Mar 01, 2010
By Lee Decarolis
"RockawayLee"
I found this book very useful in helping to explain some of the more complicated code issues. Every section is cross referenced to the actual code and an abundance of useful details and diagrams are provided. It helps me save a lot of time and have confidence with my design issues.

Its great for reference but if your taking exams for inspectors, etc. it doesnt show tables so better buy the actual building code.
