"The Hand Sculpted House" - Ianto Evans. It's been awhile since I've read it, but I remember there being a good section on earthen floors. It's also just a fantastic book all around, great and thorough info and philosophy on all things natural building.

That is a great book

Check out Sukita who runs Claylin. She's probably the best to consult these days for floors. She doesn't have a book as far as I know but she would probably respond to an email. Try a quick google search. Otherwise, there is some good advice and a handful of good recipes in Carol Crews' new book "Clay Culture"

Stop it! You're embarassing me! And you are embarrassing this tiny ad!
