Review:
"If you're planning to build an eco-friendly house, you will certainly come across hemp as a construction material. The benefits are many, and the book goes through all of them.
Allin's interest lies in the fact that there are still many people around the world coming up with new and imaginative ways of using hemp in every climate and all weather conditions. His aim, therefore, is not to provide a manual, but to inspire. Still, he certainly shows how feasible it is!"
