Really Short
I knew how many pages the book was when I got it, but I didn't know that its only about four and a half inches tall and the print is really large and spaced out. The other thing about this book is that it doesn't provide nearly enough details. This is a book designed for someone who has no painting experience and next to no experience in construction. I guess for the absolute beginner this is okay, but not for me.

More like an essay paper
Bought and read the book in an afternoon. Very basic information. This book would be a better buy if you've never painting and are considering getting into the business. There are no charts, graphs, or truely helpful information.

Clear, concise, easy to read
Straight forward, easy to read book. After reading this book I got my first painting contract for $2500. A+ Nice book. Excellent for anyone who wants to get started in the business right away.
