5.0 out of 5 stars Contains actual ASTM testing standards.

It's important to note that this version of the book has the ACTUAL ASTM STANDARDS for testing of construction materials whereas the next edition has them omitted and the test standards are edited and renamed as "experiment # x". If you want the actual ASTM standards, buy this version.

Mr. Coffey and Dr. LaPlante work at Hudson Valley Community College where I go for civil engineering. The book starts off dealing with aggregates and has so far been very helpful.

Purchased this book in used but good condition. I was in exactly that condition when it arrived. Actually I would call it very good but used, I am very pleased with the quality of the book and the accuracy of the description from the seller. And I ordered fast shipping and I had it in 3 days. I'm very pleased with that too.

Thank you

I really liked this book. It got me laid three times. I have a basic construction material for you (that's what he said).
