    • Excellent material
Format: Paperback
Lindsey is an excellent writer making it an easy and interesting read. She covers many possible scenarios and leaves the reader with enough data to formulate a plan / design. Well worth the time and money invested.

    • Great pictures
Format: Paperback
This has gorgeous pictures and some excellent ideas, but they tend to be on the upscale side, more akin to sun room than a working greenhouse. Still gorgeous pictures and beautiful ideas.

    • Comprehensive book
Format: Paperback
This is a very comprehensive book on the different methods for building a green house that will majorly extend you season or even go year-round, unlike a normal green house. Because it covers so many techniques, it is a little lacking on full details for implementing any one in particular. If you aren't really good at figuring things out, you may want to use this book to determine what techniques you want to implement and then get another book to get more details. If you are extra handy, this is probably enough to get the job done. ... show more

    • Best Information Out There!
Format: Paperback
First I saw the preview of the book, so I read the preview! Then I saw the topic while searching online in Mother Earth News, and it was an article written by the author about the book! Then I saw a video on YouTube in my research, and it was by the same company Ceres, the author! Thank you (to the authors) for all of the resources, and what a great book! ... show more

    • Great resource
Format: Paperback
This book gives both recommendations, AND the reasons why. Most helpful. There are no arguments in this book, just a lot of good discussions. I very much appreciate the time and dedication the authors put into this treatise. I am now more confident than ever that I can build a year-round solar greenhouse in Wyoming at 5,500 feet elevation, that will not eat my lunch in energy bills. Another thing I found very helpful were the recommendations for further reading. 3 more books to digest this winter. ... show more

    • Clear writing, thorough coverage of the topic.
Format: Paperback
I am working with Ms. Schiller's company to design a small solar greenhouse modeled on her principles. This is a very thorough and well written book that should open up new worlds for someone accustomed to thinking that greenhouses are nothing but metal channel and clear panes of glazing. In particular the underground piping system, the GAHT system described here, is a very affordable breakthrough to create a greenhouse that will function year round. I tried to introduce these concepts to a fellow resident of my town who chose to ignore them. His greenhouse fish pond froze over this past winter. Such a thing is inconceivable if you follow these principles and guidelines. ... show more

    • Instructional not a blueprint.
Format: Paperback
This is an instructional book. It’s not on how to build a greenhouse. It does not provide on how to build a greenhouse but gives you information on the Do’s and Don’t’s of a greenhouse.
