Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter,   ISBN:9780936070339

Customer Rating: 

Lloyd Kahn gives us another collection of homes built with imagination, sweat and at times a bit of madness.
He throws in some reprinted pages from some of my favorite other books on homes - the whole thing ads up to a bit of a chaotic mess - it seems to be organized more for the builders, photographers and other contributors to the book than the reader, but it is full of so much wonderful information, stories and tips that one can hardly complain.

Customer Rating: 

The book came as described and has many wonderful creative houses in it. Makes me want to get building now.

Customer Rating: 

inspiring, encouraging, informative....a must have book for those who love nature, for those who dream about building their own home, for those who already built, for the curious, for the dreamer....
great photography, and paper quality

Reading this made my son and me want to build, build, build. At the same time, the book achieves something else: the way people make their homes shows something very intimate and moving. This collection of photographs, drawings and stories shows how closely related the art of building, the art of art and the art of living are. This is one of the rare occasions where I would like to thank the authors.

followed by several days flipping through again and again, searching for my favorites...beautiful pictures. I could have done with more "on the road" pics and less (what I would refer to as) "normal" houses...I can see those kinds when I look out the window...but that's just a personal preference....I wish he'd take all the extra stuff he said he had and put it on a website or publish another book. I'd buy it!
