Save your money Not a bad book, but there are many better, more comprehensive books on the subject. This book was published in the 70's and is rather dated. If you're looking for a limited number of simple plans to build a small, simple cabin, its okay, but there are better books on the subject with more plans and at an economical price too.
Vacation Homes Review This is actually an excellent little guide with practical choices of several simple but classic home styles. Based on the guide originally published in 1972, it gives all the required information (plan details) to build the homes included. There is not a lot of text or explanation of building techniques, only the plans, text with use and design considerations and plan details. I actually really recommend this book for those looking for complete plans for a vacation or small home they could afford to build
