“ If you’re planning to build a custom home, you should buy three copies: one to keep, one to give to your designer, and one to give to your builder. ”

^{- Lloyd Alter, TreeHugger.com}

“ But anyone—a client, designer or builder—can pick up the Pretty Good House book and get a good idea of how to build a beautiful, efficient, right-sized home made of the right materials. It's all reasonable, sensible, useful information written by experienced designers and builders who actually know how to communicate. This is a rare treat. ”

^{- Martin Holladay, GreenBuildingAdvisor}

“  While homeowners will find this book indispensable for creating their dream house, the trades will equally eat it up, turning over every well-communicated concept. Kudos to the authors and their publisher for this essential guide to where we all want to live. ”

^{- Julia Bassett Scherwin, for Green & Healthy Maine HOMES}

“ This book is written very well by a group of people who really care about building a high-quality product that is good for a durable and healthy building. Don't let the title fool you, A Pretty Good House is a very, very good house. ”

^{- Greg W.}

^{- Jen Jobart}

“ This book is written by leaders in the housing industry that really know building science, sustainability, and health for homes. If everyone was able to read this book it could change the entire industry for the better. ”
