"Time-Saver Standards for Building Types." Edited by Joseph De Chiara and John H. Callender. 1065 pages; 1,510 illustrations; 82x11; $27.50. Publication: September, 1973. McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y. 10020.

Every phase of building design, from preliminary concepts to detailed design developments, is examined in this one-volume handbook presenting the latest concepts involved in ten major building categories.

An outgrowth of and companion to the classic "Time-Saver Standards," this new practical guide provides in a fully graphic manner the basic planning and functional considerations for each type of building. It contains much data taken from a wide assortment of sources not readily available to architects, designers, and students.

"Design Handbook / SP-17(73)." American Concrete Institute, Box 4754, Detroit, Mich. 48219, 82x11. 432 pages. $10.50 to ACI members, $14 to non-members.

The 1973 edition of the Handbook contains new material and revisions in accordance with the strength design method of ACI 318-71 Building Code. Prepared by ACI Committee 340, the work simplifies the design of reinforced concrete structural elements, and has been greatly expanded to include many new tables, graphs, charts and other aids.

Use of the Handbook enables the designer to eliminate repetitious routine calculations by condensing into a single coefficient various factors, coefficients and stresses that are used repeatedly. The Commentary section explains the assumptions and procedures in preparing the design aids and gives instructions for their use.
