Profusely illustrated with simple yet methodical diagrams and gorgeous color photography, Bungalow Plans by bungalow development experts Christian and Christen Gladu (owners of the Bungalow Company, Bend, Oregon) is an impressive collection of twenty-five bungalow plans from top-class designers. Bungalow Plans is an enthusiastically recommended, beautifully presented showcase of practical, efficient, and "people friendly" homes in this distinctive architectural style.

I am studying plans for a new craftsman neighborhood that I am building in. This book is not very helpful. It has a few pictures that may help with some exterior design choices but that is all. There are only about 20 plans in this book and none are very good. The plans have no dimensions on them. There is no way to tell what the width or depth is. We have some tight lots so all the houses have to be less than 40' wide. Save your money and buy Craftsman Style.

Enjoyed this book very much. There were plans of the houses with pictures and explanation of features. There were pictures also of the interiors which were lovely. I loved this book. Excellent!

This book has very nice pictures, but unfortunately, all of them are of "bungalows" that are 2,000-4,000 square feet. The "small" bungalow is 1,600sf. These are really McMansions dressed up with some bungalow styling. Who had a 3,000sf house in 1920? I was looking for ideas for refurbishing and making the most of a 670sf bungalow, but this was definitely not he place to look.

Nice book, worth getting if you plan on designing your own home - or altering design of a stock home.
