Specification for Architects.
Reading edition
In all English-speaking countries “Specification” is the recognised Standard Authority on the many subjects with which an Architect must deal when preparing his Specifications. The work is at once concise and comprehensive, and so vast a mass of practical information is not to be found in any other single volume.
Every section has been written by an accredited authority, and the annual revision comprises the contributions of scores of qualified specialists of recognised standing in their several departments.
