If you are looking to be able to read, and create blueprints for an HVAC application - that can then be read by an HVAC professional, and a bid on the project performed - don't buy this book.

The book is a basic look at drafting (very basic - for example whole chapters dealing with things like scales and how to measure angles). There is no useful info that would allow one to either make use of or create new plans for a particular application.

Don't buy it!!!!!!!!!Sep 14, 2009
By Juan Rodriguez "disciple of Jesus"
Let me tell you something, if you are taking a class on HVAC duct system and if they ask you to buy this book.
It is much better if someone else can share it with you, don't waste your money.
