"The guide to Eurocode 7"
The full review is as follows:
"Andrew Bond's book provided an excellent review and analysis of Eurocode 7 and sets it in context with the other Eurocodes. It is to my mind unique in its detail and it is a book that every geotechnical engineer should have on his/her desk."

First review of the book
Tony Bracegirdle of GCG has written the first public review of 'Decoding Eurocode 7', in which he says:
‘The appearance of Decoding Eurocode 7 is both welcome and timely ... The commentary and examples are not restricted to ... the UK, giving the book wide appeal and relevance ... I have no hesitation in recommending Decoding Eurocode 7 to both students and practitioners as an authoritative, practical text, representing excellent value for money. It can be taken in large doses or small and is certain to alleviate most EC7 headaches.’
