buyer beware2
I bought this book thinking I would learn all about contract and construction management. Is not a bad read, but the font style is so light as to make it very uncomfortable visually. I'm not a fussy guy, but one has to wonder, after 500 years, why someone would feel the need to get so creative about the font style of a book. the subjset matter is faily limited, goes on and on ad nauseum on how scchedules are formulated , built, managed etc. Other references go at it in a fraction of the pages. Good for the uninitated I suppose, but way overdone for the well aquainted.

Not the best book out there2
This was presented as a text for a continuing education class and I read it cover to cover. For a third edition, it still has a lot of typos and other annoying errors. It just doesn't seem like a professional manual. There is no glossary, and much of the book is taken up by tables and specs for an imaginary project. Also, I an others in the class who have years of experience in the trades found it confusing or worthless. It just isn't a well organized book. I found better information online for free.
