I thought I lived in a nice middle class neighborhood with "new architecture" and as I read this book it become clear to me that much of the urban architecture I thought of as "middle class urban" or "American suburban" was in fact, still derived from our American Farm traditions and structures.  These fundamentally sound, cost, space, and functionally efficient structures have been the mainstay of American family and home and business foundation lives for generations of Americans and have changed our way of living from early survivalist styles into a rational, wholesome prosperity based on sound functional designs that the entire world now emulates as rational.    You can read the detailed content pages further down this page. Sample images from this CD   Whether you are an architect seeking good sound base designs to move forward from, a home or farm owner seeking some nice plans to compare to or build with, or simply a lover or historian of "Americana" this is a great book.  In one volume we learn the how to and get practical plans for everything from country farm houses and cottages to great horse barns and just about every other practical structure including ice houses, and hen houses, even octagonal ones. wow! I want to build a couple of these, they just look so cozy that I am eyeing my bank account and wondering where I would put another home, if I had the land for it, sigh. Beware! This is the kind of book that makes you want to go build something! Reviews:  Comments from: S. Jenson. After looking around at these designs I trashed the early drawings I got from my architect for a new horse barn and went back to him with the plans for an octagonal barn with the silo in the middle, and got him to get me building permits for something more creative. I love it. This book gave me the impetus to look at my needs in a different and more creative, and more functional light, and the results are wonderful. Take courage, you can do something creative!  Comments from: ‘Red’ Brewster I hate reading in general, and especially hate wasting time on technical clap-trap! This book is full of pictures and plans, and gave me just the bare facts to understand why a design might or might not be smart choice for my needs. Just what the ole alley cat needed to make decisions. Thanks God for a simple and useful book.
