DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!
What an absolute rio off!!!! This "book" (it's a pamphlet) tells you absolutely nothing!! It is comprised of simple obvious statements like "pick a size of container that works best for you". Worst purchase I've ever made and the reason you should be careful what you order on Amazon!!!

Absolutely useless, don't waste your time
Incredibly disappointed with this. Where to begin...it's about the size of a small pamphlet. Only 30 pages or so, and that's 30 pages with generous margins, double-spacing, and large font. No images, illustrations, diagrams, etc... beyond the compelling cover photo.The writing gives very few actual useful details about building a container home. It sounds like it was written by a 5th grader doing a book report on a book they didn't actually read. Most of the statements are along the lines of "you could do this [X] or [Y]", but offers little to no detail beyond that in terms of HOW you would do those things, WHY you would pick them, WHAT the benefits and tradeoffs are, etc... You know, things that would actually make this book useful and provide info beyond the obvious.The favorite turn of phrase seems to be "as per your needs", which often follows the "you could do [X] or [Y]" statements. This seems to be lazy writing, provides little information, and is the type of phrase a middle schooler would use in their book report to fluff the word count and sound sophisticated while actually conveying no additional information about the subject they're covering.I was hoping for diagrams, pictures, case studies...really anything that would be useful or provide examples or inspiration. Got none of it. I wouldn't be surprised if this started out as a Google doc with some notes on the outline of a book, that got taken to Kinkos and printed.If it were a pamphlet in the lobby of an architecture firm, I'd take a free copy and toss it before the end of the day. Definitely not worth $12.95.They say never judge a book by its cover, and I've learned that the hard way. The cover of this book sold me and I was sorely disappointed.

WAY overpriced!
The "magazine" as I would call it, only has 30 pages and a huge font size. I believe you could easily change it to 15 pages in a normal size and put in some images. Not worth the purchase. The information can easily be found around the internet - for free.

Very very very, can I add more, very disappointed. The book was not at all what I expected. The book had little information, no image. I would like a refund in fact. I can rant on about this book .
