Great gift for an architecture student
I got this for my fiance, who is an architecture student, and he really liked it. It is a great addition to his office bookshelf, and he has referred to it while working on some projects. Cute idea for an architecture student, or someone who enjoys that type of thing!

Use as a Textbook
This book is being used as a textbook for a "Construction Materials & Methods" course at a community college. This book/author has left out technical names for numerous various processes and products utilized in construction. Otherwise, it's an O.K. book for a basic introduction but fails to go more in-depth as needed.
