Another in a great series of Sunset books that concentrates on mid century modern architectural and landscape design. Shows cabins and vacation homes with wonderful examples and many how-to do it yourself discussions. As with all these vintage Sunset books, the examples are works by the modernist architects of the period. Check out the cabin by Liddle and Jones. Especially cool is an example of building "an expandable core", which is a way to build the basics in a weekend!
First published in 1881, this complete, illustrated guide reveals how to catch everything from tigers and bears to squirrels and mice, and offers general advice on camping and hiking in the woods. Among the treasures within are easy-to-follow plans for building dozens of traps; full directions for the building of shanties and log cabins, and boats and canoes; hints on food and cooking utensils; instructions for the curing and tanning of fur skins; and much, much more.
Jim Qwilleran packs up his old kit bag and his two Siamese cats for a sun-and-fun summer at his log cabin in Moose County. Their vacation starts off ominously with the disappearance of a handyman hired to patch up Qwilleran's cabins. But the felines really start throwing catfits when they come across a couple of dead bodies! HC: Putnam.
