Format:Paperback
This is a beautiful book demonstrating the artistry and ingenuity employed by people who decide to live a slightly less conventional life. Whilst some of the individual 'houseboat' studies (most of them aren't boats but floating homes constructed on cement pontoons) are a little short, and most focus on custom builds rather than interesting conversions, it's still a very enjoyable read and a nice coffee table book.

Awesome -- That's all I can say. If you're interested in houseboats for any reason, this is your book.
History, information, great writing, and awesome photography! This one interests everyone.
Great coffee table book.
Kathy -- neighbor to "The Lindner House" featured in the book.
p.s. If you live in the Portland, Sausalito, or Seattle Houseboat communities, you will especially enjoy this book.

Fabulous Gift Book
5 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
I gave this book to a few close friends for the holidays. I have never had such great feedback about a giftbook. The book is not only beautiful to look at, but it contains such great details, history, and stories about houseboats and their owners. I definitely give this 5 stars!! I look forward to Flanagan's next book!

A beautiful book
24 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is beautifully done. Marvelous pictures and descriptions of a variety of houseboats. It gives real insight into a lifestyle that few of us will ever experience. Someday I hope to become a part of this very small but extremely interesting lifestyle...
