s a writer, I've always imagined having a little shop where I could share my favorite books with my readers, and now, with the magic of the Internet, here it is! 
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

The place to start if you are looking for green building materials.
While other books give the theory behind green building, this directory provides descriptions and manufacturer contact information for more than 1400 "environmentally preferable" building products and materials, in a format that is easy to use for homeowners. A great resource to put in the hands of your architect or builder, as it is arranged like a set of building "specs" and each chapter opens with a discussion of the primary environmental considerations and the criteria for choosing green products in that category. The authors also publish the GreenSpec Directory of green building products for architects and designers and Environmental Building News. If you are planning green construction or a remodel, this book is an essential resource.
