100% Happy with product and delivery. A very good series of books and really great for beginners. Pictures and cutting lists and methods very easy to follow. Definately worth the money. I have several books from this series and they are all great.

As there will be a certain amount of workshop/shed building going on for me this year, the chance find of Building a Shed while on a random search of Amazon list was lucky indeed.
I found the book to be well written and informative with the ability to appeal to those like myself - I'm a time served joiner - without being condescending to the amateur who is learning their way. As it is an American publication some mental transposing of sizes and dimensions has to be done - English suppliers will work in our dimensions.
If you're building a shed then this book ought to be handy as it answers lots of queries, highlights problems that can occur and recognises that not everyone has a flat site to put their shed on - buy it, get creative, it's your space.

never felt the need to write a review, but this book really impressed me. very large and clear photos, some good 'trade tips' and easily understandable instructions. yes its American but has some very interesting design ideas and building techniques not seen so much in the uk, well not by the likes of DIY people like myself. For example , the brick paved floor held together by a rectangle of sleepers. no need for the quintesential Uk concrete slab for a base. well recomended.
