Not the One,
By kgm3boys (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building With Cob: A Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)
This is not the book at all that I thought it was. It is totally written for the UK, not here in Canada. Some, but very little can be used here. I was also very disappointed in the quality of the book, with the first read the binding started coming apart, the photos are all in black and white, and the orginization is sadly lacking.If all you want is a suppliment to TONNES of books about cob, then buy this one, but if you are looking for a true reference book, skip it.

"One stop" book for cob building,
By A Deist "DJ" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building With Cob: A Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)
Those of you who have read "The Hand-Sculpted House" by Ianto Evans will like this book. It is an excellent guide to building with cob. I felt that every aspect of building a house was covered in enough detail that you could start building with cob if you were even a little bit handy. Although building a house is covered well, it includes building fireplaces and cob ovens, too.I paid forty five dollars for my copy at the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair and see now that I could have saved fifteen dollars. Still, if you are looking for just one book to cover many aspects of using cob then you won't go wrong with this book. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful:

Very informative book,
By O. R. Helsloot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building With Cob: A Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)
This book shows you the ins and outs of cob building. It's very pleasant to read and a must for everyone interested in natural building. I own many books on natural building (mostly American) and find the views of the authors refreshing. You will not find claims of houses built for USD 15.000 or less in this book! No mumbojumbo, but just the bare facts in all of their beauty. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book as it will give you hours of reading pleasure.

An essential guide,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building With Cob: A Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)
If you want to create a cob structure, BUILDING WITH COB: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE is the item of choice, whether it be for a home or an outbuilding. Photos by Ray Main accompany details on how to pair cob building requirements with local construction codes and standards, offering both construction and overall maintenance guidelines. From different kinds of thatch and their lifespans to manufactured paint choices, BUILDING WITH COB is an essential guide.Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch |
