5.0 out of 5 stars ispiration, November 9, 1997

esanford@pe.net (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rolling Homes: Handmade Houses on Wheels (Paperback)

I am a 25 year old law student, who because of the inspiration provided by this book has undertaken building his own "rolling home." All those with a bit of nomadic blood in them will wear this book out and become obsessed with dreams of building their own "home." Thoreau's cabin on Walden Pond may no longer be a reality today, but for just several thousand dollars and some hard work anyone can escape the confines of modern society and a mortgage. In pictures Lidz captures the spirit of those who live in handmade, "rolling homes" and the beauty of their creations.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book!, March 9, 2000

Zach (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rolling Homes: Handmade Houses on Wheels (Paperback)

I just got this book and i have already become obsessed with dreams of building my own Rolling Home this summer. The photographs are all very beautiful, and the book is also full of great drawings and diagrams. Not much text, but what's there is very well written. This book has inspired me to live my life in a whole new, fun way. This is definately worth buying!
