Rating: - It's a toughie.
This is the text book that was assigned to my class, and I am taking an at-home course. I don't know if these guys are covering everything or not, but I can tell you this: they sure don't know how to write clearly. Sentences are long-winded and convoluted. I read each sentence over and over just trying to figure it out. I am taking notes by re-writing every paragraph.

Rating: - Great book for new appraisers
I have been working as an appraisal apprentice for 3 months. I have read 3 different books and this is the most concise and clear.

Rating: - Good Start
I am a REALTOR, not an appraiser.
