2 out of 5 stars A poor manual at best.......2007-04-12

This manual does not live up to the hype that the publisher put out. The illustrations are rudimentary and the definitions are shallow. Most of the illustrations have to do with obvious or outdated construction items. This may be a useful manual for people who are starting out in the industry (or history buffs), but definitely not for the seasoned professionals. One more book to gather dust on the shelve...

4 out of 5 stars handy.......2006-03-23

I wish I had this book when I first started working after school. You will probably never part with it as it is a very good and handy reference book. Sometimes it's very difficult to imagine some new word that's defined with some small definition but at least some words have pictures to aid in the description. Overall still very good.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Constrcution..........2003-12-22

This book is amazing. Still being in school, it has helped me in my internships. There is only so much you learn in school and this book has everything else. I would recommend it to anyone. A++

I have purchased several different Construction Dictionaries in the past, and the Means Illustrated Dictionary has been the one I re-order and give to my staff to use as thier Construction Bible.
