We have just finished production of Stretching-Pocketbook Edition. Size: 5 x 7-1/4.”
The original book has sold 3-1/2 million copies worldwide and is in 24 languages (the latest Slovenian!), and this is the first pocket book edition in English. (Preceding this were very successful pocketbook editions in Spain and Germany.)
It has all the stretches from the original book, and slightly abbreviated programs. It will be great to take on trips, and on airplanes, to keep in a desk drawer, etc.
It is being printed right now and bound book completion is March 31. It should be in the bookstores late April-early May.
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 have an old, dog-eared copy, as well as the ebook. I think a pocket book would work best, though. I managed to hike 250 miles of the AT without too much stretching, but biking tightens my hamstrings a lot – I need it for biking.
Awesome idea…I'll be getting one.
When I first saw this in my email (before opening, sans picture) I thought it was about stretching the pocket book, but oddly worded…now I know why!
