What makes a book a good book?
Many things make a good book. First of all, to be a good book, there has to be good content. A good book will help you learn something or think about something more or from a different perspective. A good book is also reader dependant. For a book to be good, it needs to be on a topic that you are interested in – it needs to grab your attention and help you think about something.
The book listed on this page will help you think and learn about home design and how to apply this thinking to modular home design and creation.
