Comments from our editors:
First published in 1955 as U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Handbook No. 73, this highly popular guide presents sound, time-tested principles for wood-frame construction, complete with expert advice on selecting suitable building materials.

Content ranges from preliminaries that should be dealt with before construction -- financial planning, site selection, design, etc. to foundations to framing and maintenance. Technical notes with suggestions for further reading and a glossary round out the book.
