Title: I like this guy's I ingenuity
Review: This is a great resource for anyone who is interested in constructing a dome for any purpose, whether it's a greenhouse or any other reason. I had no idea that there were companies out there who are as knowledgeable, and stock everything one needs to build ones own dome. I'm thinking of building a seasonal home in the woods with what I have learned here.

Title: Seems to be more advertising than anything
Review: I debated on one or two stars, but gave it two (I don't hate the booklet)... This is a small "pamphlet" type book that seems to be more of an advertisement for a dome parts company than a real how-to... I don't want to build a 36' dome, I want to build an 8' to 12' dome... I'm sure the parts are good quality, but are expensive (like $1100 for a kit of hubs - that's all, just the hubs).All of that said, there are a few informational gems that i can use in my quest to build a smaller dome. Just be aware this is more an instruction guide for the manufacturer than it is a "how to build a dome" booklet.

Title: Not much here
Review: This information can be found online for free. Not much content. But I guess it wasnât costly either. I just still need to find better books for what I want to do. It entry level at best.

Title: Seems like a handy resource...
Review: Good book, but youâll need an Engineerâs tape measure, they read in 100ths of a foot, not fractions.I havenât tried building one yet, but it does have a very detailed list of parts, instructions, and the like.

Title: A story
Review: A story of a man's build more than a tech manuel. I lost my inspiration... an arch with supports will be easier and faster without the issues he went through. He wrote book that is not bad, wont break your bank, and is useful, with a bunch of other research. But I never rely on one source. His mistakes can save u far more than the book. So buy it. If anything he deserves a cup of coffee for the effort.. buy the book if you are interested in domes. And the hubs make it much easier than pressing tubing into shape

Title:
Review: Not a terrible book, standard amazon printing and binding, but for c.£7 I wasnât expecting much.The content is useful if you plan on using PVC pipes and premanufactured hubs, otherwise the only useful sections are on window/door fittings and coverings.Little service is paid to the geometry, and no other methods beside PVC construction are detailed.In short, unless you plan on using preconstructed hubs and PVC pipes this book is reasonably informative but not necessary.
