Just so there is no confusion, this book was written by the owner of LA Ovenworks and is basically a how-to on constructing an oven from a precast mold, which are of course, sold by the author. This will cost you $2500 right out of the gate for the most basic model. This does not include building the foundation, insulating, plastering or other masonry work, and labor. It's not hard to approach the $10,000 mark with an average size oven.
Having built earth ovens and cooked in them professionally I would highly recommend both Kiko Denzer's book and Building with Cob by Adam Weismann and Katy Bryce. The latter especially if you have no experience working with cob and Kiko's for design ideas. Don't get me wrong, building an earth oven is not easy. But it costs significantly less(especially if you are resourceful in finding reusable materials) and will leave you enough left over to pay some labor and actually buy flour.

Not much to say except that this isn't the book for you if you're trying to build an oven or get any helpful ideas.

Best book on the subject

This is the best book I have seen on the subject of outdoor ovens or outdoor cooking. It's a great combination of beauty (lots of gorgeous photos), and practical how to information. It covers everything you need to know if you are thinking of buying or building an outdoor oven. By the time you're on page ten, you'll be convinced that you have to own one. I can attest that food cooked in one of these ovens tastes incredible. It's also a lot of fun. Usually 'the guys' end up doing the actual cooking (the easy part), while the ladies stand off sipping their wine. Everyone is happy! Oh, and it's also a nice coffee table book.
