2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing with a dated feel, 1 Sep 2001
By A Customer
As a lot of the material is taken from Malcolm Well's earlier career we are treated to developmental sketches for numerous projects. Whilst nice to see these are often, by their nature, a little simplistic and the limited number of detail drawings and minimal handwritten text may irritate those looking for more in depth information. This approach unfortunately makes it feel scrapbook like and dated. If you are looking for a "how to build it" book or a source of design ideas in glossy pictures then avoid this title. If you want to see how Earth Sheltered designs have developed over the years and some early mistakes still worth avoiding then this might be worth a look.
