From Library Journal
Two consumer experts use massive doses of negativity and black humor to present information on building and/or buying a home. The authors' personal experience, plus interviews and research, form a starting point in this process. They discuss the questions to ask and "money bombs"--areas to watch out for--in regard to architects, builders, realtors, mortgages, and home warranties. They refer frequently to databases and reference sources and also include "ecofriendly alternatives," product recommendations, a 900 number to call for updates, and an 800 number for questions or suggestions. Those serious about building their own home will need more detailed information related to mortgages and construction than this book offers. Still, this is recommended for collections that need updating or where there is a great demand in this subject area.
