those in training to become design professionals, Architectural
Graphic Standards Student Edition, is making its case as a
must-have student reference manual."

"Beautifully designed and resplendent with thousands of clear
architectural illustrations, this title is an indispensable
resource for all architecture Students, new architects, and
