We got the proofs back last week, and I almost cried when I went through it page by page. Sounds dumb, I know, but it was overwhelming to see all the pages, in collated order, full size, 4-color for the first time — after a couple of years working on it. I’d only seen rather low-quality, reduced size printouts up until now. And you know what, it’s ahem, a beautiful book.
People, home builders from all walks of life, a great variety of designs, materials, locales. It may very well be the most useful book we’ve ever done. Tiny homes are great for some people, but too small for most. Here are 65 or so homes in all, a cornucopia of ideas for people who can’t afford high rents and bank mortgages, and want to build or remodel (or contract out) their own homes.

Book due out April, 2017. More details to follow here.
Lloyd!
So good to hear the book actually exists, in solid form, somewhere…
So many of us have been waiting so eagerly for what feels like 200 years but it's probably no more than two…
Great to see that you chose green in the end. Red was good, green is sooooo much nicer.
Can't believe that one of the houses i've built made it to the cover… My work in one of your books AND on the cover! I would have never thought that possible but it is. It's like a dream (that i never allowed myself to have) come true.
Please, tell the printers to hurry up. Can't wait any longer
Thanks so much to the whole Shelter team for all your incredibly hard work, experience, good taste and patience.
