100% Pallet: I found was a book full of insightful ideas that at least piqued my interest as to how to recycle pallets for the home. Some plans however were lacking information for me (only very slightly, not connecting). Where the book won me over? Was the direct dialogue and answers given from designers to the author and reader.
