2.		A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $3.85 Customer Review: I love Michael Pollan's books-- I think he's a great researcher and is very good at presenting that information. However, any time he writes about his own experiences this annoying voice and character emerges-- that of a geek, perhaps-- and it's definitely not someone you want to spend a few hours... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Building Construction Illustrated from Wiley Price: $29.46 Customer Review: Smooth transaction and great price. The packaging, however, is a little too much.

17.		Handy Farm Devices: And How to Make Them from The Lyons Press Price: $19.96 Customer Review: I'm sure the original is a great book - but this version has no pictures, so when the text refers you to look at the drawing, you have nothing to reference.
