[Cob] Introduction & Cobber's CompanionAmanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comSat Feb 4 01:50:48 CST 2006
And it kind of looks like some things were taken straight from the Cobber's Companion to Hand sculpted house. IIRC, a lot of the drawings are the same. but people do tend to have the Becky Bee book out in the yard with them as they build. (it sounds like the book is being classified as "rare" because people who had it used it, and there isn't much coming in that could be classified as "good"--in some cases that can mean "never read.") .............................
