Very glad to have this. Arrived early and had information that will enable me to better do my job. Excellent condition.

Fairly solid plumbing course for a beginning tradesman. Good diagrams. Author has much experience.

I used this book to help me design and install the plumbing for my new home. I've been in the house six months and have not had any leaks, blockages, or other plumbing problems (knock on wood). Any questions? :)

My expectations were exceeded. This id a very detailed book about plumbing.
