I am prejudiced by Mytile Stedman’s re-release of her very dated book, Adobe Archtecture. That book, with a copyright from 1987, is actually filled with designs from the 1930′s. The current volume on remodeling and fireplaces is filled with drawings, with no photos of actual structures. The house plans feature very small rooms and appear to be taken directly from the Adobe Architecture book. Many of the drawings have little content. I suspect that the subject matter is far better handled elsewhere, and that the author is trading on her name and reputation.
