"The revised fifth edition of Goss's Roofing Ready Reckoner provides much needed practical guidance on the timberwork supporting tile and slate roofs. The book will be of assistance to both carpenters and tilers in providing guidance to the latest standards and new products.... It is recommended that a copy is available on site to carpenters and tilers, and kept in the van or tool bag." —Keith Roberts, RCI Technical Note Number 241, September 2016
