Thirty floor plans along with tips from some of the field's premier builders and designers will enable you to incorporate the art of a centuries-old building craft into your home.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
worst timber frame book ever -
Don't buy this book!
Unless you want a lessons in terrible architecture and how NOT to build a timber frame.
The pictures are also the worst quality I have ever seen in a book. Waste of my money.

Save Your Money -
I found this book a waste of time. Looking for actual timber frame plans, instead I found a bunch of pictures in no particular order or organization. May make a makeshift coffee table book for people to read while you think big thoughts in your completed timber frame home, but it sure won't help you design one.
Dreaming of a Timberframe Home? -
As the editor of LivingHome, I have to say that this new book is a real winner. With the popularity of timberframe homes, many of the best companies put out beautiful brochures (some even charging for them), and some have Web sites, but the photos on the Web don't do justice to the soaring spaces and gorgeous interiors of these type of homes. The authors of this book have gathered some of the best photos from some of the best companies. Plus there is good actionable information and resources for those of us who say that some day we are going to build one these beauties, no matter what.
