DESIGNING & BUILDING A SOLAR HOUSE
By Donald Watson, 1985 edition
A Garden Way Publication
This apparently was among the first books to be published in the 1970s solar design field, written by one of the original practitioners of the field. (Bruce Anderson's "Passive Solar Home" was another contemporary). It describes the work in solar design in the United States in the early 1970s with many designers who are now widely known (the first solar house by Architect William McDonough). It contains documentation of early solar installations (system researcher/originators such as Maria Telkes, Harold Hay, and George Lof), and both passive solar and active solar systems. The 1970s era applications of solar design and technology curiously have not greatly changed in design principle, although improved by 50 years of development. In its day, this book was a "best seller," promoting approaches to home design that are now widely applied...$15.00

Are you still selling these books? I'm interested in the one on Home water supply.

Yes. The book is still available. Send me your address, I’ll find out how much postage is and get back to ya with total cost. Thanks for your interest.

Thank you.  I'll try and send it.

Hey Kathy, I'm hoping you remember to send me your mailing info so I can price shipping...Thanks!

I don't see any information about address to mail to. Thanks!

Cynda: do you know how to check your Purple Mooseages? I'm on a computer, on my screen, at the top, is a little envelope thing. Clicking on it takes me to my PMs. Look for an envelope thing at the top of any page.  It's right by the bell that lights up and gets a number when you receive a thumbs up.

If you are on mobile, and don't see the envelope, scroll WAY WAY WAY to the very very bottom of the page, and click the thing that says something like "Desktop view" and look for the envelope up top again.

If still can't find it and you are on mobile, tell me, and tell me what device exactly, so I can find someone who knows your device. I only grok the computer view.

:D

I found the reply. Didn't know that I needed to look at the purple moosages till now. Sorry for my ignorance. I have contacted Kathy and will follow up on this. Thanks!

I have tried to post a reply to Kathy but seems my post isn't going on the site. Can you help me get this straightened out? Thanks!

Your message was sent to her. Probably problems with the permies server. It happens :)
