Can anyone recommend any good cabin oriented books? I have lots of pretty coffee-table type picture books, but only one that deals with and gives alot of ideas for an off-grid cabins:

http://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Dream-Cabin-Woods/dp/1592283292/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s =books&qid=1196385037&sr=8-1

After reading this title over and over about 20 times, I'm looking for something else.

Hi "Nervous wife",
Yes, I already have the Dale Mulfinger book, but it is more of a picture book than a how-to guide, though I have gained a bit of inspiration from it. I have found a couple of books since my original posting that I can
recommend:
Cabins: A Guide to Building Your Own Nature Retreat
by David and Jeanie Stiles
And also:
Rustic Retreats: A Build-It-Yourself Guide by the
same authors.
Both are very good with a lot of how-to drawings for
building as well as a number of other things.

Rustic Retreats- I definitely agree....
OR any of these three from Lloyd Kahn
"Homework", "Shelter", and/or "Builders Of The Pacific Coast".

I also just (this week) released my own indie-press small housing/cabin/fort/shack book...
