Zen Architecture


I gave a copy of this book to both sons for Xmas, Kelly in Spokane and Clay in Ashland. Both of them loved the book. They both were overboard with praise for it and were looking forward to delving into it more. It's only available from the author, Paul Discoe, master builder who built Tassajara's stone wall kitchen, the Lindesfarne House and more at Green Gulch, and who was in charge of all the incredible buildings and bridge and more at Larry Ellison's estate in Woodside, a $200,000,000 job. Paul worked with a temple and other fine carpentry team for years in Japan. - DC

There's a lot about the book on Amazon where it's available as a Kindle. Check that for the praise and info. Kindle can't do it justice though. 

To get the hardcopy Zen Architecture, which originally sold for $40 - 

send a check for $25 to 5227 Fleming Ave, Oakland, CA 94619 and include their address and Paul will send you a copy postpaid. If you're in the US that is.
