College text and not DIY
This is the text book for the Basic Maintenance Plumbing class at my local college, hence the high price. There are no color photos, few step-by-step photos, no long descriptions. There are many much better book described on Amazon. It is not remotely as good as any of the DIY plumbing books available here at less than 1/2 the price. If you must buy then get a used copy for $4.

I ended up buying Ultimate Guide to Plumbing and find it a much better book. Detailed how-to dicsussion and many color photos.

A unique visual approach to interpreting and applying the 2006 International Plumbing and Sewage Code

While other plumbing code books are annotated guides filled with almost as much legalese as the code itself, this is the only book to use illustrations as the basis for explanation, a bulleted format for text, and real-world case studies to explain how to apply and interpret the 2006 International Plumbing and Sewage Code. ...

What a disappointment
The book is an un-reviewed dog. Found many errors the first time I flipped through it and I'm not even a plumber. The author needs some serious (competent) pier review work done on this edition. Great idea just a blazay attempt at clarifying the more complex language of the 2006 code. I was very disappointed.

Not So Much
This book is very hard to follow. The Illustrated manual that is published by the ICC is much more coherent and informative. I regret having spent so much money on this book becaust it has nothing to offer beyond what is in the ICC publication. The font that was utized by the author in his ilustrations are murder on the eyes. Buy the ICC version as it has the actual code verbatim and then the articulate and practical commentary. Plus the illustrations are superb especially when compared to Patterson's offering.

And, as always, Amazon rules. Their Customer Service is second to none. ... Read more
