Books on Homes
In Great Variety

Varieties range from a pene-

wrong with housing in the past
to light-hearted treatise on
how to build a home with your
own as-yet-uncalloused hands.
Inbetween those two extremes
you can And books of floor plans,

on construction details, books on
furnishing and decorating.
The most ambitious volume to \
come from publisher during the
year in the nome building field
was Robert Lasch's, Breaking

highly controversial book deals
with what might be roughly de-
scribed as The politics of housing.
It cuffs the building industry

ment controls.
