Worked out great for taking my tests. Not too interesting but it serves its purpose.

Introduction for New Contractors	Customer Rating:
This how-to guide will teach new contractors the very basics of underground construction work.

Good Book	Customer Rating:
I suppose that some of my trade secrets are no longer "secrets", as I stumbled across them while reading Pipe and Excavation Contracting. It's a good book - I have no complaints.

Customer Rating:

The book was OK, but it's very basic. Too much of the book had elementary chapters and too little meat I think. If you never did any underground work this book is good...for those that have there's probally a better one out there..I haven't found it so I'm not sure. The book had mostly on how to operate a backhoe, how to dig around utilities and stuff. I was looking for surveying hints..there were some but not much. I probally should have looked for a surveying book..but that would make too much sense.
