All the Way Home: Building a Family in a Falling-Down House
from William Morrow
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:

I picked up a copy of this book to read later this summer "when I have more time". I glanced at the first chapter and was intrigued.
I read the second chapter and was interested.

Building Construction Illustrated
from Wiley
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:

Book is very good for research and beginners learning building construction. I have used the earlier editions often for research. But the 4th ed. the print and the size of font is smaller and lighter in color and is hard to read even which my glasses on.

The Solar House: Passive Heating and Cooling
from Chelsea Green Publishing Company
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

I've read many other green building books. What I liked about this one was that it really goes into the nuts and bolts more - it give more detail than other books including some of Dan Chiras's other books - which I guess makes sense since it is about a limited area/topic.

The Fifty Dollar and Up Underground House Book
from Mole Publishing Company
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:

First off, the reason for four stars instead of five. It's because the author was very narrow minded in what he thought you would be reading the book for. The title makes it very clear that it's going to be a cheap house, but it still came as a surprise to me that it is not about making a modern... more info
