Technically, the title is completely honest. This is about how to build a yurt. What I didn't realize was that it was how to build A yurt. As in, a single yurt. His yurt, to be precise. It's not that it wasn't useful reading but unless you are planning to duplicate his efforts, you won't find much in the book. He gives a few options when they come up but the basic design doesn't change and it's therefore limited to what he did. And, as he built it in the early 1970's, it isn't up-to-date.
