Like most of the scam books on Amazon, the final page of this one begs readers to do the author a big favor and review it on Amazon.
Ok then.
This is my review and it is most likely the only non-incentivized review of this book:
I Know something about Shipping Container Homes and have been following them online for sometime reading all about any new builds going back at least five years. Strangely, around two years ago is when all these bogus Shipping Container Home books began appearing on Amazon. Most everyone of these are produced by a small group of internet marketing turds who never created any new content on the subject, but rather just steal other peoples work. None of these losers have the slightest real knowledge about shipping containers. To them it's simply a profitable niche.
Now this book is interesting because, unlike most of other the fake books, it actually includes photos. The problem is, these are all stolen from an old blog created by a man named Larry Wade ( Taj Malodge ). What happened to Larry? Who knows, but it didnt take long for the internet buzzards to began using his photo's for their products. [ see containerhomeplans as well ]
Google: TAJ MALODGE
Google: imgur "Story of two containers"
Taj Malodge is the name of the shipping container home built by Larry Wade in 2010. He made the mistake of documenting his progress with photos and posting them online back in 2011 on a blog. The detailed photographs he took of the building process are all online for FREE. Now the digital charlatans are using his work to make money. This book is a perfect example of that.
I would like to encourage anyone who knows Larry Wade to contact him regarding this flagrant abuse of his copyrights. Perhaps he might even take legal action. I hope he does.

Good information
An informative book it’s lots of how to’s, instruction, floor plans and ideas, from getting a container to wiring and plumbing, roofing and flooring.

I love buying and reading these types of books.
Boats, yachts, historical events and books about the sea are generally excellent. If there are sequels in your series, I would love to read them.
The beauties of owning the books of important authors cannot be discussed. I'm looking forward to your new books.
For friends who want to read this book, I leave the importance of reading a book here. I wish good luck to the sellers and customers...
Top 10 benefits of reading for all ages:
1. Reading Exercises the Brain
As we read, we need to remember the different characters and settings of a particular story. Even if you enjoy reading a book in one sitting, you need to remember the details during the time you devote to reading the book. Therefore, reading is an exercise for your brain that improves memory function.
2. Reading Is a (free) Form of Entertainment
Did you know that most of the popular TV series and movies are based on books? So why not indulge in the original form of entertainment by immersing yourself in reading? Most importantly, it's free with your Markham Public Library card.
3. Reading Improves Concentration and Focus
We all agree that there can be no reading without focus, and we need to concentrate on every page we read to fully understand the story. In a world where gadgets only speed up and shorten our attention span, we must constantly practice concentration and focus. Reading is one of the few activities that requires your undivided attention, so it improves your ability to concentrate.
4. Reading Improves Literacy
Have you ever read a book where you come across a word you don't know? Books have the power to improve your vocabulary by introducing you to new words. The more you read, the more your vocabulary will improve as well as your ability to communicate effectively. Also, reading improves writing skills by helping the reader understand and learn different writing styles.
5. Reading Improves Sleep
By creating a bedtime routine that includes reading, you can signal to your body that it's time to sleep. Now more than ever, we rely on increased screen time to get through the day. That's why you put your phone away and pick up a book and tell your brain it's time to calm down. Also, since reading helps you relieve stress, reading right before bed helps calm your mind and anxiety and improve your sleep quality.
6. Reading Increases General Knowledge
Books are always full of fun and interesting facts. Whether we read fiction or non-fiction, books have the ability to provide us with information we might not otherwise know. Reading various topics can make you a more knowledgeable person and therefore improve your speaking skills.
7. Reading Is Motivating
By reading books about heroes overcoming adversity, we are often encouraged to do the same. Whether it's a romance novel or a self-help book, the right book can motivate you to never give up and stay positive.
