Lloyd Kahn (Editor), Bob Easton (Editor) Format: Paperback Methods & Materials Editorial Review
"The Shelter (The Shelter Library of Building Books) is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in building their own shelter. Filled with in-depth information and numerous pictures, this book provides a thorough exploration of various types of shelters. It offers a wide range of ideas and Construction techniques that can inspire and guide readers in their own building projects. Although the book is packed with information, some readers may find it overwhelming due to the small text and the crammed layout. The old black and white pictures may not be visually appealing to everyone, and the fact that only the center section is in color may be disappointing for some. Overall, The Shelter is a valuable resource for those Considering building their own shelter. While it may be lacking in substance at times and the visual presentation may not be ideal, it still offers enough information and inspiration to make it a worthwhile read."
