Average Rating:
 Rating: - An absolute gemThis is an amazing book - I cannot recommend it enough. If you get the chance to browse it anywhere, do - chances are you'll buy it. I bought it in the early seventies and have been browsing it ever since. It is full of wonderful images from all over the World, of houses, dovecotes, castles, grain stores and the like built by people without formal training (but often with a lot of crafts knowledge, obviously). It is endlessly fascinating - to dream away with, to inspire, to get itchy feet with, to organize an immediate trip from. There are other books on the subject (Oliver springs to mind) but this was the first, and in many respects it remains the best. Rudofsky has a fine style in writing, too: an open mind and a vast knowledge, coupled to a good sense of humour. Buy this book, you won't regret it.
