I picked this up, down in Cape May, New Jersey one summer day to read at the beach. Realized there was a lot of info and it was researched and well written for the weekend do it your selfer, also good for Scouts etc. A really good referance book that every library or bird enthusieists should have. Well worth the $2.00. The drawings are done quite well, helps you buy materials to save money. The only thing really missing is nails and or screws that will be required but thats' not really bad as the hobbyists should know all ready.Roger
The Best Little Technical Reference for Birdhouse Builders June 12, 2000

This book is short and to the point, well researched and documented. There is a bibliography in the back that is helpful for further reading. The plans in this book are for simple, unadorned, basic shelter for birds. Even if you want to build fancy "designer" birdhouses, you need this book to discover the entrance size, location and interior requirements for dozens of species of birds. He even gives great tips on how to locate your completed shelters, including population density for most species covered. There is an amazing amount of information in this 48 page book. I would highly recommend this book for anyone contemplating building birdhouses. Your success as a bird "landlord" will be assured!

This book is very helpful for making birdhouses. Not only does it give you several plans for birdhouses it also provides detailed information on different bird species. That information will help you know what type of house to build, opening sizing and more.I got this for my nine year old daughter and she really likes it. So, it's pretty easy to read and other than the charts is not too dry to read either.
Buy it for its reference information only August 20, 2008

Three dollars and fifty cents! I bought it for the reference information mentioned in my review title, i.e., entrance hole sizes by species, along with nest height. For $20, that would be a big one or two stars. For $3.50, that's a solid 5 stars! This is not a pretty backyard birdhouse plan book! It's a short, to the point treatise on what birds like and need.
