It provides an inspiration to me of the handmade house as a place of unlimited creative expression and a melding of the function and form of shelter into whatever it's creator is capable of imagining.
Savour the images and let them seep into your subcounciouswho knows what journey they may set you upon. There is something warm and peaceful about this book. It is a transporter, ready to take you back to Northern California or Oregon of the 1970s.
This book is a photo montage of the heritage of tinkering and building without restrictions from codes, rules, and with a freedom that is classically american at it's roots. This is a great look into the vernacular architecture which is cultivated by builders using what they have available. Both Academically intriguing and heartwarming.
