Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles

Ordering directly from amazon saved money, and the book was in brand new and great condition.

This publication covers a preponderance of topics to provide objectivity to what can be a highly subjective matter. Concepts and principles are delineated in meaningful ways and the applications are expounded upon.
A must for all persons involved with land management, use, development, and preservation.

Some stuff seems archaic, but some other stuff kind of difficult to decipher, but pertinent.

easy to read book, have examples. only thing is if you need it right away, spend them money for shipping. i got the free shipping but it awhile before i got it.

While preparing for my licensing exam, I read this book from cover to cover. It addresses every principle of retracement (sequential and simultaneous conveyances), public lands, and riparian issues thoroughly. The highlighted "principle" at the heading of each new topic makes remembering the main points simple. I can honestly say that every question on the NCEES exam that dealt with general principles and practice was answered in this book. I passed on my first sitting, and this book was one of the main reasons why. If you can only study one reference, this is it. Every practicing surveyor should also refer to it regularly.
