Books

I've spent a couple of days searching the web for books that might be useful to a modern DIY castlebuilder. There's a lot of information out there, some useless, some too technical, and unfortunately very little that is relevant to those individuals seeking to build their own castle; at least at the skill level I imagine many of them to be: good with tools, but likely little or no experience with contracting.

I've added a list of books, all available at amazon.com, to the discussion group page "books" section (link towards top left of main page). These mostly have to do with being a DIY homebuilder and how to do the contracting yourself, or at least save money on it. Some books have to do with DIY stonebuilding. As time goes by hopefully the books can get sifted through by myself or others and given a thumbs up or down as to their usefulness.
