An inspiring and informative book
Von Timothy F. Ortlieb
This book would seem to be an indispensible starting point for anyone looking into the straw bale home concept. If the thought of a poorly-insulated, energy-guzzling, expensive, bland, mass-produced, contractor-built home doesn't quite appeal to you, this book is essential, for it shows that inexpensive doesn't have to mean low quality nor unattractive. In fact, bales and other "natural", low-cost building materials can yield attractively individual results in part because they are easy and fun to work with, enfranchising the future owner to be his or her own designer and builder. The inspiring photos included in the book help make the case for the aesthetic advantages. Of course, the most important function is to show how to build the straw bale home. In this respect, the book succeeds admirably, giving diagrams to illustrate the major techniques being used and showing how simple straw bale building is. Incidentally, this would make an attractive book for your coffee table even if you are just mildly interested in the subject. One warning though: even including the index and other back-of-the-book sections, there are only 297 pages, not 336!

Straw Houses that won't be blown down!
Von Paul Davies
I must admit being fairly sceptical about straw bale construction until I read this book...

The style is very assessible and the content is thorough, interesting and informative. Just about every angle is covered in depth without being overly technical.

Includes useful covereage of many associated areas, such as rammed earth, adobe and passive solar issues.

An inspirational read for whether you are a dreamer or seriously intent on buiding your own house!

Great SB book
Von Raymond L. Smith
I've really enjoyed this book, especially the color pictures, although I wish there were more of them.
