...I'm wondering if anyone has read both
Ms. Bee's text (The Cob Builders Handbook)
and Michael Smith's The Cobbers Companion...

I have Michael's book and recently got to browse Misha's copy of Becky =
Bee's book.  I feel they complement each other extremely well.  The =
style and manner of presentation is quite different, even though most of =
the underlying content is the same. =20
I think this is great - the techniques represented are consistent and =
the two different presentation styles/manners enable a variety of people =
from a variety of backgrounds to come to the concepts comfortably.  I =
plan to get a copy of Becky Bee's book at some point so that I will have =
more ideas to draw on and both books to share when introducing people to =
cob building.

I do prefer the modular nature of Michael's book - sections as small as =
one page can be updated and/or replaced without having to =
reprint/repurchase the whole thing.  Maybe the next printing of Becky's =
book will adopt that idea...
