4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, lacks detail of Nebraska technique, 3 Dec 2001

By	ramjam@battling.com (UK) - See all my reviews

The book provides a great overview and much detail to the whole question of Straw Bale construction and is required reading for anybody considering the technique. I however am more interested in the Nebraska style of construction (straw bales providing structure of the walls) and this book is lacking the detail and most importantly confidence when writing about this technique. For me the Nebraska style represents the romantic image of a handmade straw bale home. If you wish to build an American style timber framed house, insulated with Straw bales then everything you need to know is here. We need another book that plots the build of a Nebraska style homes from start to end.

4.0 out of 5 stars very american, 24 May 2007

By	Mr. R. Hilton (Exeter, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this book contains a huge amount of information on building with strawbales and would be very useful to anyone interested in the subject. the methods and information covered are particularly relevant to america and not always so helpful for the uk. certain techniques differ from those described in British literature, paricularly those regarding details. small differences but ones that could have a huge influence on the performance of the building. I would reccomend anyone to read another book such as Barbara Jones' alongside this.
