Title: You Can't Grow Your Own House!
Product review: A deceiving, gimmicky title that doesn't measure up to the book's contents.Lots of color pictures of absolutely huge bamboo community structures (NOT houses!) that basically all look the same. There's hardly any variety - just huge bamboo roofs suspended on bamboo stilts designed by the book's author.I bought the book because it mentions "House" in the title but it hardly has any "houses" in it... maybe photo's of 3 bamboo houses in total.The book is written in German text with an English translation printed alongside... so half of each text page is taken up with the German text.The book shows a few pictures of bamboo joints made by filling the ends with concrete and embedded bolts secured to metal joints. It doesn't tell you where to buy those joints because they are custom made.That was the most useful information found in the book from my perspective.So... I'm still looking for a book about bamboo houses!
