Easy peasy ready reckoner
I'd always steered away from traditional cut roofs as a rule, and left it to them who know what they are doing, But was told to do some this year and was to say the least abit daunted by the thought of it but, together with a little bit of past experience and this little gem things have turned out very well , Informative and helpful I can say I would have been lost without it .....

Great little book.
My partner is a carpenter and thinks this little book is great.
Includes loads of information and is a handy size so you can keep it in your pocket.
