Strawbale building Primer in Spanish & English
http://www.networkearth.org/bwob/material.htm


I found a wonderful site www.scribd.com  search by keyword-- but there
are articles and books on all sorts of green building--  and the Free
books I was offering- the Earthbag book building tips, etc.

here is a link I send from my website. I am retiring from bookstore
sales, so I am not promoting purchase from me, by  sharing great free
access for all you busy frugal builders.

FREE BOOKS INFO
 http://www.dirtcheapbuilder.com/adandearbuil.html  << the 2 free books
shown here-- with the links below

SCRIBD    is the best site- many many free books-- ON ANY TOPIC-
amazing- I put up my own writing- they bug you until you  contribute
YOUR works.

GO TO WWW.SCRIBD.COM    search by key word-- they
want you to upload your own writing- anything is  acceptible that is
useful-- maybe write up your experience on building  something- or
what you know?
but it will annoy you until you do donate something. but you can get
them ( books) free)
