Not just for vacation homes,

This review is from: 408 Vacation & Second Home Plans: Everything You Need to Build Your Vacation Hideaway! (Paperback)
In addition to the usual sort of vacation homes people usually imagine, this book also includes a number of designs for more traditional first homes (ranch designs are prevalent) with just an added touch of luxury and leisure. Plans and information throughout most of the book are clear and give good detail. If there's a short-coming, it's that the "showcase" homes in the color section skimp on the detail you find in the rest of the book. One would think it would be the other way around... Some readers might be put off for a dozen or so pages being sourced out to Linwood Home for a bit of quasi-advertising, but they're perfectly appropriate here, if a little short on detail (one of the floorplans clearly doesn't match the pictures or description given -- looks like an editing error). The designs themselves are attractive overall. Moreso than other books in this series, I found a large number of the plans worth a look rather than just plodding through one after another searching for the rare gem.
