4.0 out of 5 stars Healthy helps
As a new homeowner, I like this book. It deals with older homes, which I have and actually supplies information that I paid someone to give me. Here it is for the cost of the book.

The case studies are outdated. Typical of architects, there are a bazillion architectural building details that you may or may not find useful. As a Home Builder, I found this book a waste of time and money.

On the plus side, there is a lot information about water purification systems. It has the prettiest cover of any of the Healthy House books I have seen.

There are many books on the market. This one seemed very useful to me.
The only reason I rated it 4 rather than 5 is that it didn't do the work for me. !!!
