5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book, Jan 31 2009
By C. Peterson (yellowknife NT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this love, love, love this book. It is definately of all the books I own my favorite book. It is wonderful and full of inspiration for anyone interested in alternative ways to live. I love to flip through and daydream about the options available when I build my own house away from the beige cookie cutter suburbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, Jul 11 2004
By Fida Wild (Restoule, ON - Canada) - See all my reviews
Handbuilt Shelter reads like a wonderful mistery. This book is fantastic, and a goldmine for house-bilders with independent ideas. Don't dream your dream, live your dream! The stories behind each picture are very inspiring!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for anyone who appreciates the art of building, May 31 2004
By Patience of "Jobe" (Mill Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Lloyd Kahn's latest book on the ideas and independent solutions people have come up with for building is fantastic.
There is an element of nostalgia for anyone who grew up reading books from the alternative press. Llyod's publications being some of the best establish his credentials for this latest effort.
It's a small but potent reminder to all the creative builders who might have settled (or compromised) into the pre-fab burbs that there are still people creating unique spaces to live. A subtle reminder disguised as a colorful coffee table tome with a subtle subversive theme. The examples from his photos and short essays of people who with patience, perseverance and lots of creativity build houses only they envisioned.
