THE GREEN BUILDING BIBLE |
|
|
Author - Ed. Keith Hall Needs little introduction - probably the best (certainly the most up to date) source book for accessible articles and technical stuff on home building sustainably. Excellent value. |

HOME WORK |
|
 |
Author - L. Khan Home Work - Hand Built Shelter. This fantastic book is the follow up to, and updating of, Shelter, which was first published in 1973. Same idea - an eclectic mix of self-build examples from people who have done it themselves - this time in a more manageable format with loads of great colour photos. |
