Format:Paperback
From advice on 'snuggling' foundation rocks together to practical explanation of creating the right mix..Becky really shows she knows how to work with earth. I began a cob bench after falling in love with photos of hers. I don't know any other way to sculpt, have fun, get dirty, and still create something useful. People might not build a whole house, but a meditation room, or garden shed, even animal house would be doable. Local cobbers I know respect her skills highly, I'd love to see more finished home and project photos. Anyone can do this, it's fun and gets you in touch with dirt!

Format:Paperback
This is a very powerful book: the authoress has been very comprehensive in her coverage of the subject of building with cob. The format belies that fact: lots of hand drawn pictures and an easy manner could make it seem as if it were a lightweight book - but it is anything but lightweight. I eagerly pointed my browser at the web page of Becky Bee so that I could register to take one of her many courses on cob building, but alas, for unspecified reasons, other than 'unforeseen circumstances', Becky has cancelled all workshops at the moment: 2009. What a shame!

I started reading this book not even really knowing what cob is and now I feel that I could build in cob myself. It seems to be a thorough book, full of diagrams and a fun, but informative read. Its title should really be 'An Idiots Guide to Building in Cob'
