 Rating 5   Earthbag Building: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques (Natural Building Series
The ultimate reference tool for earthbag building. I found most of the same imformation on the internet, but nothing was as comprehensive or complete!! This book will be a true asset to anyone wanting to use this construction technique.

 Rating 4   Carbon neutral homes---the best!
A fascinating, informative and useful book. I'm not yet finished but this book makes you realize that this idea is solid and not just wishful thinking... I would have given it 5 stars (or even 10 stars) if all the pictures were color but the black and white pictures lose so much detail it is disappointing.

 Rating 5   Solution to the Global Housing Problem Has Been Solved - Can You Dig It!
Kaki Hunter and Donald Kiffmeyer have put together all the basic information you'll need to intelligently evaluate how you can solve your own housing needs without selling your soul to a banker. Earthbag construction is the smartest system of construction I can think of. It also interfaces seamlessly with other organic building systems. These two individuals have spent much of their lives bring this "solution" information to the people on the planet. Earthbag homes are not only esthetically pleasing but are seismically safe, energy efficient and downright fun to live in.

Thank you Kaki and Doni

 Rating 5   All you will need to know to build
This is a well written book. It details all the steps you need to go through to build your own Earthbag buildings. I like how it goes into numerous options allowing you to know how to approach what your building project needs. After reading this book I now know I can do this kind of building and it has instilled in me the confidence to tackle my own building project.

It is my intention to build a home using this method. I am now starting to look for land to buy so I can get started.

 Rating 4   The Perfect Primer and Beginners Guide to EarthBag homes
I wasn't expecting a be-all and end-all book when I ordered this item; however, I was beyond impressed with all of the thorough information packed into this paperback book. The authors Kaki Hunter and Donald Kiffmeyer wrote this with the beginner in mind as well as those totally unfamiliar with construction basics. Though this book has pretty much everything you need (resources info too!), you can never get enough information on this wonderful type of earth-friendly construction!
