I've tried all my local used bookshops.  I'm on a list if they come across the book they will email me.  But don't get my hopes up.  

Do you have a link to one you recomend?  

I am in Canada, though that was my first thought -- to give you their email.
For the record, this is a new book store, and we have gotten some interesting results for classics (old books) published 'on demand'.
I guess that is another part of the book economy that you might want to be sure to access in your searches.
(There were some Henry James titles  that were out of print that we wanted to read this past winter, and so we were able to access them via this local bookseller that way -- printed on demand -- a kind of photocopy of an original -- nicely bound)

I am so glad that you asked!

Not that I know anything about the way you have focused your inquiry, but just that I'd like to make a point: I tried to order these very cards and was told that they were not available in Canada.
This was some time ago.

Thanks!

My question without having read the book yet is; if this can be done in New England and if so, would it be comfortable living for the four seasons?

Thanks

Hi. Just popping in here to share the question that occurred to me while we were welcoming you to the forum. What kind of thermal mass leverage does a cordwood wall provide? I was wondering what it was comparable to and how it answers the needs of insulation and maintaining comfortable temps.

Cheers!

From now through this Friday, any posts in this forum, ie the green building forum, could be selected to win.

Frances, a link to the forum was in the first post and if you look above the tan box you'll see threads permies >> forums>> green building.

Yes, I saw that. What prompted my query was that there is no way of knowing which ones are popping up during the Roy/cordwood discussion?

Congratulations Shodo and Cj!

I sent you an email to ask for the email address of the person that first referred you to Permies.com. That person (if qualified) will also get a copy of the book.

congratulations to Shodo and CJ!
Adrien, I'm a little puzzled about how to find the threads of this topic!
Thanks, Frances

Welcome, Rob Roy author of Cordwood Building.
I've had a look at your website and like it a lot!
Hopefully, this is a great way to advertise it and support the flow of your business.
I've been researching a variety of topics re: growing; green building, and have not studied much on this topic yet, so look forward to further familiarizing myself, and hope to post a very basic question or two!

Cheers,
Frances

Hi Paul,
Awesome approach.
I like this facebook page because it has a nice sharing/interactive/troubleshooting tone/info/slant to it:

To that end, it seems like a good step would be to start networking with other web sites.

So there will be four DVDs: "fire science", "sneaky heat", "boom squish" and "hot rocket".

For sites the size/influence of permies, I think it would be good to offer all four DVDs plus producer credit in the DVDs - provided that they give a mega push. For smaller sites, we can offer one or more DVDs.

So now the real question is: which sites do we contact?

It seems that if we can make arrangements with some of the bigger sites before the kickstarter starts, we can link to them on the kickstarter page and get them gobs of exposure.

Suggestions?
