SassyGal said Just study, it's all good!. The book arrived on time and was packaged well. The shipping was fast!! This book is a must have, especially if you are studying for the exam. I would recommend this to anyone in construction!. Five Stars DjPasqualeB good to study. luna said Misleading - loose leaf not paperback!!!. It is important to know that this book is LOOSE-LEAF, not paperback. The book doesn't even come with a binder. I have had loose-leaf before and the pages eventually all rip out. It is really a pain. Also, previous loose-leaf code books I have ordered come with an IBC binder. Disappointing!
