I really enjoyed reading this book. I started by flipping through and reading here and there like I normally do with how-to guides. Then I gave up and read the whole thing from cover to cover, it was so interesting I could not put it down. This book was well written, and fun! I was left feeling very anxious to go outside and get my hands in the dirt and try making something with cob! Too bad for me it was the middle of winter in my northern Alberta Canada home!
