I use this book all the time and refer it people who are interested in building with straw. It is very helpful to the northern climates. A great deal of information is provided with many details and techniques. Highly recommend for anyone considering straw bale construction. A great alternative to "conventional" construction.

M and I are currently reading this and about to attend a workshop on solar power this month. Trying to get out of the city and "back to the land" some time soon. M is working to make straw bale building more accepted here in the midwest.

So far, so good. I found the section on ventilation very enlightening—a subject I had thought far too little about.
Thorough and very focused. This book is definitely a useful resource for anyone preparing to build with straw.

Very detailed. No book seems to contain everything you need to build you own strawbale structure, but this seems to come as close as I have seen.
