Yesterday Erin from FedEx came in as scheduled at 4:30 with 2 advance copies of Tiny Homes, and 100 copies of the tiny Tiny book. Do they look good! Here are a few poor quality snapshots:
Below is a copy of the tiny (2 x 2½”) Tiny book. 34 pages, sewn binding, a first for our printers. We”re going to include one free with each order for the real book, and use them for promo.
We’re off tomorrow for the Green Festival…
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:

I just found "Domebook 2" in my college's library and read a fair chunk of it. I'm glad to see that you are still publishing!
Peace,
Karl
Oh, I had to breakdown and pre order it too Lloyd! Looks amazing! patty
Congratulations! Ever closer to our hands too!
sometimes the biggest most brilliant ideas are tiny. congratulations on the fruition of all your hard work
How do we order the book to get a Tiny book included?
YAY! I just pre-ordered! I sooo hope to get a "tiny" Tiny book with the Tiny Homes Book! My cat would love to sit next to me reading her very own copy of Tiny Homes!
I will pre-order too and look for you at GreenFest.
I ordered mine on Thursday and messaged Lew to remind you to autograph my copy. Looks great. I'm really looking forward to it!
Thanks – went to your site and ordered it today. I hope I got the order in soon enough to get the tiny one too, but I'll be happy with the book nonetheless. Thanks, Mr. Lloyd – naomi
Anonymous, We'll be including the tiny Tiny book with orders for a while.
I want to order your book and the tiny one.
How do i get to your site to order?
Thanks,
jenny
Just found it – fell stupid 🙁
Jenny, to pre-order, go to: http://www.shelterpub.com, and click on Tiny Homes.
Lloyd, I so loved Home Work, I was inspired to convert a toolshed attached to the back of my garage into a beautiful home office. Then, when I moved out it became an elegant little retreat I live in a couple days a week. Check it out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/denislpaul/sets/72157627927931479/
It's located in the East Bay, and includes a great little composting toilet outhouse in the new shed. All contained in a tiny 20'x50' fenced in suburban lot.
Denis, Great! OK to post?
Lloyd
…changing the world one tiny book at a time!
How exciting! So happy to be part of this Lloyd, and can't wait to see the real thing! Bravo! Bet you are chuffed 🙂
