Buy it for its reference information only |
Three dollars and fifty cents! I bought it for the reference information mentioned in my review title, i.e., entrance hole sizes by species, along with nest height. For $20, that would be a big one or two stars. For $3.50, that's a solid 5 stars! This is not a pretty backyard birdhouse plan book! It's a short, to the point treatise on what birds like and need.

Not enough content |
|
Not that many designs. The designs included are limited to birds for certain regions of the USA. |

birdhouses |
|
I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She was delighted with it so now she and I have our summer project of making birdhouses. |
| |
|
Basic design, but provides excellent sizing tables |
|
At first I thought I had purchased a bulletin, because the book is not very substantial, but upon examining the book, it contains some valuable tables on the proper dimensions of the bird houses (depth, width, height, material, hole size, etc). |
| |
|
Not so complete guide |
|
Don't expect to open this book and start building birdhouses right away. There are very few diagrams or pictures, mostly detailed discussions of bird house attributes. This is not the book for children or first time builders since the author assumes the reader is already a woodworker. However, careful reading will reveal a lot of useful information, making this a welcome addition to my "how to" library. |
