“THE BOOK’S FINALLY HERE! ‘Gary Larson meets Bob Vila’ — housing/fort/small house/shack book…is a culmination of my love for ultra-tiny living, and covers some of the small houses and cabins I’ve unprofessionally built.…” https://relaxshax.wordpress.com/
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:

Looking forward to getting my copy in the mail. Looks like a great little book.
Hey- thanks Michael! And Lloyd, thanks for posting it- just stumbled upon it- made my day.
-Derek/Deek.
GREAT recommendation. I rarely buy on a single review or two, but this book's incredibly fun, and has quite a few good ideas! Reminds me of the Whole Earth Catalog's- art and layout-wise. Thank you Lloyd.
