Bs 5588

Hi guys a little help please on BS 5588, does any one know of a guide book  that consolidates the principles of these documents with key points or introduces/consolidates them in a more user friendly (& cost effective) way? (I have already checked Amazon & RIBA with no joy).

If BSI purchase is the only option then what are the most important parts for the life safety fire risk assessor to have in his library?

I understand the copyright side of things but generally a guide is produced by someone, an alternative has already been suggested with code 101?

Quite happy to fund BSI but I am looking to find the most cost effective way of gaining the knowledge.

Thanks in advance for your help.......

It can be quite difficult to apply the principles contained in BSs, especially in the older building. They are normally only used for new or those undergoing major redevelopment. I think too that most of the recommendations of the BS are like an birthday wish list. But if there is something in it which fits then use it.
