If you have ever thought about getting it all together—time, energy, land and materials—to build something of your very own, this book may entice you to take the fatal step.
The author (Boericke) and the photographer (Shapiro) have traveled for years to the ends of many a rural road in order to visit and record the best owner-built structures they could. We think that you'll agree that their efforts were well-rewarded.
Now, our words and images will not tell you what to build nor how to build it. There are plenty of books for that. We hope that the book will show you some neat solutions to old problems, with gorgeous embellish-ments, and will tell you -if you'll look-that you needn't be a titan of carpentry in order to have a sprightly little outbuilding or a snug main house. Please pause and enjoy.
