Virtual Library
My virtual library came about through my own search for relevant material. It can be hard to source a good supply of reading and reference material specific to log homes, log cabins, timber frame homes and all the related issues. That’s why I’ve put together a page with all the very best books, the best magazines, and other useful publications out there surrounding these topics. Even knowing what is available is not enough. Some books are better than others, some magazines offer a specific slant or require a more in-depth knowledge up front. I try to sort through all the different publications out there and choose those I have found to be practical, useful, interesting and relevant to include in our virtual library. Feel free to
contact me directly
with questions, comments, if you have something you would like to see included, or if you have a book or magazine review to share with the greater
log home community.
