not a good choice at all
not well written or well detailed. Try Graphic Guide to Framing for a much better refrence.

Framing Floors,Walls,Ceilings:The Best Of Fine Homebuilding
A friend has a copy of this helpful book.. once I read it, it was the most helpful books I've read on basic framing.. I learned things I didnt know how to do..this book has been a great help in the planning and construction of my home..I cant wait to order the rest of the Best of Homebuilding series.. dont pass this one up..

Not what I expected
I was looking for a book on framing and flipped through this quickly at a local big-box store and purchased it. I should have looked more closely. It is a just a collection of articles from a magazine that are about framing. While they go into great detail on a few chosen topics - they do not discuss framing soup to nuts as I would have expected from the title (or even the quick once-through). If you are interested in some advanced techniques, this might be a valuable resource, but if you want the basics - or at least something comprehensive - look elsewhere.
