These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 65 topics.
FG exam, code book open on the desk. The question shows a gas meter on a new house and asks where the piping the code covers actually starts. You've piped hundreds of houses, and right now you're not sure: the meter, the regulator or the service line?
The code book does answer it, but in definitions and paragraphs: point of delivery, service meter assembly, outlet of the final regulator. Separate definitions, pages apart, and none of them drawn.
In the book, that same topic is one page: the meter on one side, the appliance on the other, and the point of delivery marked where the code takes over. Natural gas at the meter outlet, LP-gas at the final regulator outlet, with the code section to look up at the bottom.
Then come the numbers that look alike: 3 psig, 6 feet, 18 inches, 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/h. Read in paragraphs, they blur together by the next morning.
You see where the system starts, you know which section to open, and you answer without flipping back through the code book.
The exam and the code book, general regulations, gas piping, pipe sizing, testing and valves, combustion air, venting, specific appliances and field inspection: 69 pages, all illustrated
Think of it this way:
Exam question: a 100,000 Btu/h furnace, a run of pipe, a sizing table to read. The clock is running and you have about two minutes.
You've already seen that page, so you know the order: 100,000 Btu/h divided by about 1,000 Btu per cubic foot is 100 CFH. Then the longest length, then the row, then the column, straight in your code book.
Or on the job: a water heater in a 7 × 10 ft utility room with an 8 ft ceiling. That's 560 cubic feet, and the combustion air page shows the next step: openings to another room or to the outdoors.
Fuel Gas Inspector Illustrated is 9 parts and 65 topics, all drawn, with the 10 numbers to remember, a topic-to-section index and an exam day checklist at the end.

Yes. It doesn't teach you how to pipe a house: it shows each IFGC topic drawn and where to find it in the code book, which is what an open-book exam asks of you.
It's built on the International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 and 2024 editions, with IRC Chapter 24 and NFPA 54 as references. Where a section number or a requirement differs between the two editions, the page shows it. Check which edition your ICC exam bulletin lists and use that code book.
No. It's an independent study book, not published, endorsed or reviewed by the ICC. It doesn't give you a certificate or CEUs: the FG certification comes only from passing the ICC exam.
No. You still need the IFGC edition your exam uses, and that's the book you take into the exam: the testing center only allows the references listed in your ICC bulletin, so this PDF stays home. You study with it before, so on exam day you know which chapter, table and section to open.
