I find this book is so powerful, because I can find any things for a architect want to know from this book. I call this book is the encyclopedia for me. I really want to buy this book, but unfortunately, I am a Australian architect, and we are using metric unit (metre), and it is quite trouble to understand the inch dimension for us. So editor, Could you please publish a "Architectural Graphic Standards in Metric" in the following edition, please.
As an Architect, I had at one time always considered AGS to be the Bible of Architectural priactice, but of course it is very cost prohibitive. I guess they would expect one to just to write it off on his taxes, so it didnt matter if the price was kept high. I think its usefulness in todays practice however is not as profound because of the wealth of information that is now available from suppliers, manufactures, etc.
