Mortgage Free!
I’ve dreamed of building an A-frame cabin for my home since I was a little girl. This dream, born in an age of innocence and economic ignorance, but quickly down-sizing to a mere nostalgic concept, led me to pick up a copy of Rob Roy’s Mortgage Free! Innovative Strategies for Debt-Free Home Ownership. This book is similar to Thomas J. Elpel’s Direct Pointing to Real Wealth, so it will be more appealing to people who want to get back to life’s simple pleasures through the art of conservation. Roy offers various benefits to the conserver-lifestyle, including both personal and monetary. In fact, he makes owner-built home ownership by way of conserving appear to be a better long-term investment than even a college education. The best part, however, is that Roy writes from experience, having built two homes himself. (For proof, photos are included.) He also points to websites and to other books that will aid readers on their quest for debt-free home ownership.
With suggestions on conserving money, making smart investments, buying land, and designing and building a shelter, this book is an inspiring introductory guide for anyone dreaming of building a nest of their own, or maybe even a little A-frame cabin.

I’ll definitely be picking this one up. I picked up Roy’s Stoneview earlier this year, which is about building a small cordwood structure. I enjoyed it, and this one has been on my list since my Chelsea Green catalog came in the mail!
