Review #1: No Kidding
Review #2: Modern is relative





Review #1

No Kidding

Of course "Modern is only relative", and I don't know what else anyone should expect from a circa 1932 reprinted book. As if that shouldn't be enough, the editors include a new warning about safety and code compliance. If you want to build modern, I suppose you could buy one of those 'do it yourself' sunset books at the checkstand at home depot. If you would like to see how things were done in the days when cheap, shoddy and uninspired WASN'T the order of the day, this (for stairs anyway) may be your book.




Review #2

Modern is relative

I build Stairs and balustrades and this book has only theoretical application. It was modern when written in 1902. Stairs have changed a lot in construction techniques since 1902...Modern is only relative.
