Summary: One of the best on the subject, buy it.
Comment: I've collected several Straw Bale building books and this is perhaps the most informative of them all. It's not bulky,143 pages,but covers almost everything. Most books just gloss over most of the details and while this one doesn't pretend to tell it all you do get a good start and leads for further information. I really appreciate the construction details shown here, most of the books just kind of talk about stacking bales and plastering, this one gives enough detail that you'll know whether or not you want to actually build this way.

Summary: THE BEST HOW-TO GUIDE AROUND
Comment: I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to know the basics of straw-bale construction. I have worked with the authors in introducing straw-bale construction techniques in a community-development context in Mongolia and China, and I can say from first-hand experience that the authors know what they are talking about (some designs from our Mongolia work ended up in the book). In China, where my organization is working to promote sustainable housing design, I use the book to explain to government officials and others just what straw-bale construction is all about. Because the illustrations are so clear, the book is very useful in this context. I have passed out some 20 copies in China so far, and have had requests for far more.

Summary: If you want to build a straw bale house, read this book.
Comment: If you THINK you want to build a straw bale house then read "The Straw Bale House"; it has nice pictures and will convince you to build. When it comes time to build your straw bale house read this book. Straw bale design and building methods are improving with each new straw bale house built so read the latest information available. This book gives you all the facts you need about straw bale houses. We are currently building a straw bale house in Arizona, and used this book to do it. They just make it sound so easy. Matts is an extreme character, but he knows how to build a straw bale house, and he can show you how to do it too.
