This is really the bible of tiny houses, written by Lester Walker almost 25 years ago. We did 2 pages on it in our book Home Work: Simple Shelter in 2004. As I work on our new book on tiny homes I realize again what a great book this is. Here is what appeared in Home Work. You can click on the pdf’s to get clear images of the entire two pages.
“The six little house plans shown here are from Tiny, Tiny Houses by Lester Walker. Lester is a rarity — an architect who not only has designed these little houses, but has drawn clear and useful plans that he shares with others.”

Hi, Lloyd.
Thanks for good posting.
I read your book 'Shelter' (It was very interesting and it gave me many inspirations.)
I want to see more information about this post, but I don't know where PDF files are.
And link has empty info.
Please let me know. Thanks Lloyd.
From Korea. A.H.
I can't get in them either.
I found this book when it was first published and have been "designing" unbuilt tiny houses ever since. It just never gets old.
Lester Walker's books are around but can be hard to find at libraries. For some reason, he's often catalogued as "Les". FYI to anyone looking, the tiny houses book has an alternate title, "A Little House of My Own".
I think this tiny houses fits for a very small family.
