For coursework, the book works as a sampling guide and compendium for choosing and specifying finishes. Students can use it to compare options for a brief, to understand how joints and patterns affect the spatial impression, and to support material boards with sound technical information. On a university reading list, it provides a dependable foundation for projects that move from concept to detail, and complements more inspirational books on innovative materials with fundamentals on everyday applications.
