5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,
By EmmyLooo "akawej" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Book of Home Plans (Paperback)
This is the best house plan book I've found. We've looked at several and found that most books must share the same plan database. This book actually has plans that we didn't find in other books, and the fact that there is a color photo or illustration for each one makes it that much better. We haven't ordered a plan yet, so I'm not sure of the quality of the blueprints or materials list, but if they're as good as the book, I'd be happy!

This review is from: The Ultimate Book of Home Plans (Paperback)
When I bought this book I just thought it was one of those magazine style things printed on cheap paper.Wrong! This book is huge! Colour photos and colour illustrations throughout.Floor plans of all types,almost.Not many homeplans here to suit the lower budgets.
Overall,this book is the best.Great quality,good value and its huge.There are a lot of homes here so you will find something you like.Its worth the money.

This review is from: The Ultimate Book of Home Plans (Paperback)
We couldn't agree on the type of house we wanted so we spent hours inspecting the hundreds of house plans in this book, mentally taking ideas from one and adding them to others. Having color pictures of the finished product makes it easy to identify those you like. In the end we were able to compromise; I gave up the two-story idea for the more practicle one-story, and we've created a wing for privacy. Rather than buy individual plans we'll take our cut & paste ideas to an architech (someday). If nothing else, browsing through the book initiated a lot of conversation about our lifestyle what's important to us as individuals. Great fun.
