An old favorite. -
I remember this book when it first came out in the 70's, and loved it. Now I'm finally going to get my home in the woods. I might have to get a modular home and customise it, but this book will still give me inspiration.

Time Travel! -
I just sold probably the only copy of this book I'll ever find, so even though I'm a seller on Amazon I don't think it's a conflict of interest for me to review it now.
I'm kind of sorry, now, that I sold it; if I'd looked at it more closely I might have decided to keep it! It is just a very cool trip back into the 70's, but the really good part of the 70's, the craftsmanship and whimsical attitudes, and so on. The return to basics, I guess is part of what I mean. Briefly, in this country, we really did have a resurgence of people wanting to reclaim roots. It was a doomed effort in many ways, I guess, but no less admirable because of being doomed. This art, as shown in this book, stands by itself as a unique expression of what I think is a very interesting period in our recent history.
A favorite gem of mine -
It was in the 1970's when I first encountered this book and the memory has stayed with me since then. Had actually forgotten the correct title in my quest to obtain a used copy of the book. Then someone on a Yahoo group I am on told me the correct title and I quickly found a used copy here on Amazon.com and I am so very, very happy.
The interesting thing about the book now thirty years old, is how it has such usable ideas for 2006 and beyond. Guess one could say it was a 'green' book before 'green' was the in thing. And the unique home made homes use recycled items from windows, doors, to bath tubs and sinks. And are all one of a kind.
Just goes to show that what was old is new again.
Step Back In Time -
Like one of the other reviewers, I too had the pleasure of living near and visiting several of the hand-made homes in this book.
I lived up in the Pygmy Forest above Mendocino off of Comptche Road and some of my neighbors' beautiful homes are pictured in this book. I lived there during 1970 and watched many of these fantastic homes (and outhouses) being crafted using bartered and recycled windows, lumber and plumbing.
One of the most beautiful houses was one with tall wood framed windows arranged in a wide half circle over-looking a dense fern covered hillside where wild purple irises would bloom. It was absolutely stunning to walk in through the hand-made front door into a warm and cozy kitchen and then walk to the left and out to the soaring living area. The kids had a loft that hung part way up the tall walls and the parents had the highest loft with a diamond cut out under their bed, so that they could just sweep the dust and dirt "through" the floor and then out the front door! Since they lacked electricity, it seemed like a workable way to keep their house clean.
Finding this book many, many years after I had moved away, was like stepping back in time...a real pleasure to read!

Outside The Box -
In 1973 I bought a hardback copy of this book and it changed the entire way I thought about houses and architecture. That original book has been lost somewhere along the way and the many moves throughout the years, but the images are still fresh and inspiring (so I'm buying another copy!). These are houses built with joie de vivre, imagination and insouciance - and mainly outside the constraints of standard building codes. I was hooked on architecture already, but this little book openned my mind to SOOOO many possibilities not even thought of by the Architectural Record or Architectural Digest. Low tech, many recycled materials, personal, and light years ahead of their time.
