2.0 out of 5 stars Review, February 14, 2000

By A Customer

If you are looking for a book with ideas of "pueblo style" or southwestern adobe style homes, this is not it. The cover is misleading, leading you to believe this book contains many if not all, this style. There are only a few (count 3 or 4) plans in the true pueblo style.

2.0 out of 5 stars Still searching for good Southwestern House Plans, February 27, 2000

By A Customer

Although the book does have a few Pueblo-style plans like those featured on the front and back cover, very little of the book is devoted to them. Most of the houses it contains are what I would term as fairly traditional, nonsouthwestern houses; their tile roofs seem to be the basis for their inclusion. I have yet to find a good collection or two of southwestern plans. Most of the floor plans were unappealing to me as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Southwest Home Plans - There must be something better, November 1, 2001

By	Maureen Schoch (Naples, FL) - See all my reviews

It's the best I've found for true SW style homeplans, but many of the plans are not SW -- just houses with tile roofs. They're all 2,000 sq. ft & up, many twice that size, which puts them out of reach for me (too expensive to build)
