Cob Builder HandbooksJohn Schinnerer jschinnerer at seattle.usweb.comFri Oct 10 11:04:37 CDT 1997
Aloha, -----Original Message----- From: Jlhighland at kktv.com [SMTP:Jlhighland at kktv.com] ...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. 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... John Schinnerer -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
