The New Birdhouse Book: A History and How To: Inspiration and Instruction for Building 50 Birdhouses

The book has valuable information and the houses are neat but the plans do not show any completed birdhouses, only the diagrams that show the parts separately with measurements :( I would like to see at least a rendering, it's hard for me personally to visualize what the house looks like using only the blueprints so I most likely will not be making any of the houses from this book

This book was quite useful. However, I also purchased "Build Your Own Birdhouses and Feeders: From Simple, Natural Designs to Spectacular, Customized Houses and Feeders" at the same time. I was very disappointed to find that the plans were almost all EXACTLY THE SAME.

Good designs, easy to follow plans. This book piqued my interest in dovecotes, and now I'm off in another direction.

The New Birdhouse Book: Inspiration And Instruction For Building 50 Birdhouses by Leslie Garisto is far more than just another woodworking "how-to guide" for a weekend project. Rather it is a full blown celebration showcasing a vast variety of crafted avian housing, ranging from common box houses to pillared feeders, as well as expansive and complex creations designed especially to attract specific birds. Color photography, detailed diagrams, step-by-step instructions, and more, make The New Birdhouse Book a must-have for woodworkers of all skill and experience levels who seek to apply their talents to the betterment of our feathered friends.
