Summary: The Self builders Bible 18th Edition
Comment: I have read the new 18th edition , of which has been completetly revised, updated & expanded from early editions to 462 pages . Any one who considers self build needs good information at the Pre-planning stage, of which david snell is an acknowledged expert. Contains valuable information to any one thinking of starting a self build, renovation, conversion & extension project . Full of real life case studies and good examples in the UK.

Summary: re - the complaint 25 Jul 2006
Comment: I am using an informed guess here, but given this is the 18th edition of the book, the earlier reviews of this book are based on previous versions.
Books that have gone through a series of editions rarely change the content to such an extent that the previous reviews are worthless.
My two penneth anyway, and I am going to buy this book based on previous feedback. Thanks to the previous reviewers.
btw - the rating I have given is my expectation and I only gave one because I couldn't submit this review without entering a rating!

Summary: BYOH 18
Comment: This is not a review - rather it is a complaint that of all the customer reviews, the youngest is August 2005.
As the book wasn't published until March 2006 they are therefore complete nonsense.

Summary: A must for any first time self builder
Comment: Anybody who is contemplating building their own house should read this first, there is a broad overview of the whole process and advise on many difficult decisions, it also answers many of the questions that whose (me) with no knowledge need answered. The book is easy to read and flows well from section to section, an index makes referring back simple, something you will want to do both as you read the book the first time and as reference afterwards. Probably the best book you can buy on the subject
