1.		Building Construction Illustrated from Wiley Price: $29.67 Customer Review: Smooth transaction and great price. The packaging, however, is a little too much. I am not really sure why a used book was shipped in a big box filled with bits and pieces of styro foams. It's a little messy.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge from Simon & Schuster Price: $17.08 Customer Review: I could barely put this book down.

5.		Civil Discipline-Specific Review for the FE/EIT Exam from Professional Publications, Inc.

6.		Mechanics of Materials from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $60.00 Customer Review: The book seems almost outdated with its long text.

9.		Project Risk Management (Project Management) from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $31.94 Customer Review: Outstanding for Risk in Project Management. We used two different books for Risk class.

16.		Steel Construction Manual, 13th Edition (Book) from American Institute of Steel Construction Price: $220.00 Customer Review: I was required to buy this book for a steel design course, and was annoyed at first with how expensive and bulky this book was, since I assumed we would only be using it for the tables.
