I want to expand our list to address all earth-building techniques.   
Please, what publications (books, reports, magazines, articles) should we   
include on ...
     --Cob?
     --Straw-clay?
     --Waddle & Daub?
     --Cast Earth?
     --PISE?
     --What have I missed?
Thank you.

[Note: We really encourage review copies be made available to us. We use   
them to verify applicability and to assist inquirers on techniques (we   
regularly forward photocopied title with  masthead to assist inquirers   
locate a copy of their own).]
