To R.J. Gehring,
Why would give a book a lesser rating because it was not written about the exact topic you needed? Your review does not apply and is decreasing the books overal rating. If you want a book about kits go buy a kit book and then rate it.
Why would I go looking for a book specifically written about brick homes and then give it a lesser rating because it didn't have a section on stone homes. People that want handcrafted log home want handcrafted log homes and that's why they would buy this book. Why clutter it up with kit information?
