from Taunton

Customer Review:

My husband and I are thinking about building a colonial revival home. I was hoping this book would give more examples of what it really takes to make a new house old.

Get Your House Right: Architectural Elements to Use and Avoid

Get Your House Right: Architectural Elements to Use & Avoid
from Sterling
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

The book provides extensive detail about the architectural detail of a TRADITIONAL house. It will not help much with a contemporary house. It has a ton of drawings to help make its points. It is basically all pictures and drawings -- very little narative.

The type and drawings in this book are so small you need a magnifying glass to read it. This book might be more suited to the classroom.

How to Build and Furnish a Log Cabin
from Wiley
Price: $11.65

Customer Review:

I bought this book not planning to build a log cabin but just for general knowledge. The book is quite sound in it's advice although somebody building a log cabin today would certainly use some more modern techniques. However, I will say that if you needed to build a log structure basically by hand... more info

Building the Timber Frame House: The Revival of a Forgotten Art
from Fireside
Price: $14.28

Customer Review:

This book was first written in 1980, though the philosophies presented between its covers are appropriate in these recent years of speculative energy prices and wobbling economic foundations. Timber frame house construction was "green" before that word was media-masticated and spit into popular... more info
