no nonsense
People tend to criticize this book because it's too small and basic. Big deal! It's priced accordingly and the title clearly says "Basic". That aside, the information is as clear and concise and no-nonsense as you can get for this subject. I've read several more "complete" and technical books on the subject, and it was only until I read this book that things actually came into perspective. Believe me, there is no better book to get a clear overview on how to build a small, efficient studio. After that, and armed with foreknowlege, you can get the technical stuff.

soundproofing...not much more
Half the book talks about soundproofing, a quarter on VERY basic wiring, and a quarter on a glossary. It's miniature too-the size of a passport. Not a good basic overview of studio design.

simple, perfect
...just enough information. I'm busy, man, so are you - you are a project musician trying to build a project studio, probably wondering to yourself how in the world owens corning 703 can be so difficult to find...you need a book with simple diagrams, simple language to tell you what you need to know. If you are building a room for bob clearmountain, then this ain't for you- if you are like the rest of the 99% of us just trying to fit a studio into your exisiting space on a budget- I think that this is the way to go....
