Reddit reviews The Architecture Pop Up Book

I saw this in the tore the other day and am still considering buying it Architecture Pop-up Book

This was my textbook for Arch 101. Thank God I stuck with it after that disaster of a class. The field has no textbook, but Architectural Graphic Standards is THE desk reference for drafting and space planning.
