Customer Reviews

The hardback is preferable

Having lost an older copy of this wonderfully illustrated book, I ordered the paperback, only to be disapointed by the xerox quality of the drawings. This book deserves the hardbound format because the artwork is exceptionally authentic. The poorly copied paperback is not worthy.

Everything you need to know about adobe construction

This little book, intended for children, shows readers of all ages how an abobe home is built, and what all the components are, including a glossary as you go along. Great little book. All children interested in world cultures should read this book.

Beautiful book about SW architecture and culture for any age

An educational book for adults and children about the architectural aspects of Adobe construction and SW culture with correct names, pronunciations and explainations of terms such as latillas, santos, luminairas and nichos. It is a description of a real adobe dollhouse in New Mexico. It is a great educational experience.
