Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-26 00:00:00 Vincent Phelan This sounds shallow, but this book really needed more color pictures. I don't expect to pick up a modern book about the home and see a lot of black and white photos. Maybe black and white photos are more green? I don't care - color photos simply hold my interest better. Also, wouldn't it be more green to keep you house outdated and ugly rather than replace everything with green, but nonetheless NEW, components? Of course, if you have to replace things, by all means go green. But let's face it - remodeling a home from top to bottom is not environmentally-friendly - this problem is not satisfactorily addressed in this book. I couldn't kick my skepticism about this, and there weren't any beautiful pictures to distract me from said skepticism. I was underwhelmed, to say the least. Checking annoying books out from the library instead of buying them? That is environmentally friendly. Glad that's what I did here. (Mind you, I never would have bought the book - not enough color pictures!)

And, unlike some of the readers that did not like all the black and white photos, I really enjoyed them. I try to live a somewhat "green" or "eco-friendly" life, and this book was full of ideas for me.
