'The Watts Pocket Handbook has always been held in high esteem by students and professionals alike. It is renowned for its extensively researched, detailed, and above all technically sound content. Ive heard many qualified surveyors say that the handbook has helped them get through their APC and of course go on to use it as a reference guide throughout their careers. I commend the Watts Pocket Encyclopaedia to all property and construction professionals.'
Alex Charlesworth, Chair, RICS UK Building Surveying Professional Group Board
'Its great to see The Watts Pocket Handbook back in print and better than ever. The Handbook has endured and evolved over 29 editions, and remains an excellent resource, written by practitioners for practitioners. APC candidates will also find it provides an up to date overview of many areas of professional practice. Each section provides a comprehensive and up to date overview of the key issues to consider when providing professional services. The content is informed by decades of professional knowledge and experience. I will be using it in my teaching practice this year to inform the coming generations of surveyors.'
