Cob Earth Construction Primer was RE: "leichtlehmbau"

[Will Firstbrook WCB of BC]

Hi,

Has anyone reviewed or seen the $25 "Earth Construction Primer" listed
in the publication list linked from the www.cmpbs.org address below? I
would be interested in finding out more about this book. The main thing
I am wondering is it a book focusing on the theory and study of existing
earthen buildings or is it focusing more on hands on how to build. How
useful is it for a person who is building their own earthern home?

Regards,
Will
