Reader Reviews This review is from: Architectural Drafting and Design (Drafing (W/O Blueprint Rdg)) (Hardcover) I bought it used (1996 edition)at a bargain rate, in top condition. I'm changing from mechanical to architectural design and the book is priceless for me. It has all the basics, and lots of details. The book is a textbook with assignments and tests. Saves going to class. The focus is on design rather than CAD. Comment | | (Report this)
