New physical book. 174 pages B&W FREE SHIPPING (USA Only)

Cob (an old English word for lump) is a building material as old as humanity made out of a mixture of clay, sand, and straw. Becky Bee's manual is a friendly guide to making your own earth structure, with chapters on design, foundations, floors, windows and doors, finishes, and of course, making glorious cob.

"I believe that building with cob is a way to recreate community and experience the joy of working together while taking back the right to build our own homes and look after our Mother Earth."

$29.00

Is it possible to see the table of contents? Has anyone done a review on this book? Here is cheaper than Amazon to purchase but I'm one of those bookstore kinds who likes to look inside and read a few paragraphs before deciding to purchase.

Well, I'd forgotten all about this one.  I guess the answer was "No" on even a photo of a table of contents.  Pity. I might have bought it! 5½ years later and nothing. I'd have thought alot of people would prefer to take a small peek before buying. Like checking ingredients on any kind of consumable.
Oh well. Thanks for trying.

DeeDee, I had forgotten about this too. Our author Becky Bee is extremely hesitant about all things electronic so this slipped through the cracks. Here's some sample pages for curiosity.
