Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Etat : Used. Ah, the elusive tome known only as "Building Regulations In Brief" by Ray Tricker. A title that tantalizes the mind and makes you wonder if perhaps you should have chosen a hobby far less complicated than understanding the labyrinthine world of construction codes. In a world where the average person might still be trying to figure out the significance of two cups of flour versus a cup of sugar in a Victoria sponge, here lies a book that promises to unveil the mysteries of building regulations as if they were merely a bit of light reading to accompany your evening tea. Published in 2004 by the esteemed Butterworth-Heinemann?because what could possibly be more enticing than a publisher that sounds like a law firm specializing in the rights of bricks?this book was crafted for those brave souls who find pleasure in building codes and who, perhaps, have a penchant for deciphering the fine print. One can only imagine Mr. Tricker sitting in his study, quill in hand and a steaming mug of Earl Grey, as he lovingly compiled the regulations with the fervor of an artist painting the Mona Lisa, but with slightly less intrigue and a lot more concrete. Now, one might ponder: who is this book for? Is it aimed at architects, builders, or the ambitious DIY enthusiast who believes that a hammer and sheer willpower can bring about a cathedral? Or perhaps it?s for the masochists among us who relish the thought of poring over endless pages of regulations as if they were captivating literature? Whatever the case, the true beauty of "Building Regulations In Brief" lies in its ability to make one question their life choices while simultaneously arming them with the knowledge that is even more riveting than watching paint dry. Throughout the pages, readers will find a delightful mix of local bylaws and national standards that will surely provide a sense of comfort?if you can find comfort in a plethora of acronyms and regulatory jargon. It?s a veritable treasure chest of legalese that could potentially turn a casual home improvement project into a full-scale bureaucratic endeavor. Truly, who doesn?t fantasize about navigating through regulations that could rival a game of chess in complexity? Condition: Used, but don?t let that fool you into thinking it?s not brimming with potential. This book has seen things?maybe a spilled cup of coffee during a particularly riveting chapter, or perhaps it was lovingly dog-eared by a previous owner who may have been too excited about the nuances of fire safety regulations. Each crease and smudge tells a story, and who wouldn?t want to own a piece of literary history that has been on its own journey through the world of brick and mortar? Have no fear, for this book is not just a dry recitation of codes. It bravely ventures into practical applications and real-world scenarios, as if to say, ?Yes, dear reader, you can indeed use this information to ensure your garden shed is compliant with local standards!? Oh, the joy that will wash over you as you realise that your garden shed can be more than just a storage unit?it can be an architectural marvel (pending approval from the local council, of course). But let us not forget the small print; this book also serves as a cautionary tale. For every bit of knowledge you assimilate, there lies the lurking dread of potential inspections, permits, and the heavy hand of local authorities. Will you be able to sleep soundly knowing that your electrical work might trigger a visit from the council?s finest? Quite possibly not, but it?s the risk worth taking when you have "Building Regulations In Brief" in your arsenal. So, if you?re ready to embark on an adventure through the land of regulations, armed with just a notebook and a sense of ironic curiosity, then look no further. "Building Regulations In Brief" is here to guide you, should you choose to accept this challenge. Remember, knowledge is power?especially when it comes to building codes. And for those looking to peruse the shelves of Crappy Old Books, where literary treasures await, this particular title is bound to stand out in your collection, not for its aesthetic appeal, but for the numerous conversations it will spark at your next dinner party. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 862
