Matt Myhrman Out on Bale) and I have talked about this and even though I'm
not totally ready to annnounce I will say that I will be providing
books/videos/audios on building.

Elk River Press & Taylor Publishing are working fast to have a free NEW
catalog with over 100 titles on natural building  and sustainable home
books, including all the Straw Bale, Cob, rammed earth and books on the
real basics..such as pole-frame building, wiring, solar oven cooking, etc.,
plus books on lime plaster/mortar from Scotland.

Most of the practical skill books are under $15, with many under $10.
There are many fancy titles out there, but I am focusing on the books and
booklets which can really deliver information for people building right now.

As a historical note the FIRST "The Rammed Earth House" was published in
1947 after WWII and address the same issues of expensive homes/lack of
