Cabins by David R. Stiles, Jeanie Stiles (2001, Paperback)

I found this book accidentally, and am glad I did! It is full of information I have found in none of my other reference books (ex. maximum roof slope that is safe to walk on). And it is very well organized, with seperate sections for building styles (log cabins, pole cabins, timber framing, etc.). Pages are well laid out, with plenty of pictures illustrating important points. In addition, there is a gallery of cabins, full of large glossy color photos. These are great for design ideas, or just for inspiration. If you want one book about building cabins, this is the one to get! No farming, hunting or homesteading info... Just building cabins!
