Description

Tiny Houses is an invitation to dream and, perhaps, to build any one of the 43 charming tiny houses. Both playful tribute and handy how-to, this is a wonderfully illustrated volume that features hundreds of photographs and detailed scale drawings. Whether you're a student of philosophy aspiring to build a replica of Thoreau's cabin, an ice fisherman in need of four walls to fend off winter winds, or just a dreamer with a vision of a humble cottage on a quite seashore, Tiny Houses is a precious resource for ideas, instruction, and inspiration.

Format: Hardcover
I would have given it 5 stars like 20 years ago but he needs to write a new book. There aren't enough designs in it and I can find more stuff on the internet. I went to a talk by his son and it's worth it to get the info and inspiration firsthand from the people behind the movement.

  • A must-read for anyone interested in the tiny house movement
Format: Hardcover
This book by Les Walk, which was published in 1987, is indispensable for anyone thinking about building a tiny house. As well as those who are just interested in reading about the history of architecture in the US.

  • Great book on very small houses.
Format: Hardcover
Extremely well written and detail filled descriptions of every small building depicted. Even Henry David Thoreau’s tiny cabin is shown in detail.

  • A Delightful and Inspiring Book!
Format: Hardcover
I enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading about the history of Tin Houses. The seller sent it to me with great timing and the book was in the stated condition. I gave it to a friend who creates dwellings on his land and he was excited to read it.

Format: Hardcover
I was looking forward to having this book for the second time having lost it the first time years ago .... So happy it's was everything I remembered except the color pages so having the extra little book was a plus!

  • Not what you think
Format: Hardcover
Let's be clear, this book talks about tiny houses in the conventional sense, not in the modern sense where they are on trailers or trucks.
