Adobe House

Great book. It has excellent drawings and photographs. It is a good basic manual for adobe building.

a book for the novice

good book for the beginner, but very little in the book for those in need of advanced adobe info.

Good beginner book

If you are going to build you own adobe home, this is a great book for the first time adobe builder. Had details on all aspects of the house. From electrical to pouring bricks to septic. Details as in the formula for a perk test, and footing sizes for load weights.I have a lot of adobe books, this is second "good" one I have seen.Very good.
