This is an older book so the bird houses are in olderstyles. The book does have a decent amount of information on tools and techniques for beginners to build birdhouses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Targeted towards the USA market not UK
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2009
Verified Purchase
I have to admit I was really disappointed with this book. Don't judge a book by its cover the old expression goes and I did. The book is actually in black and white and does not feature coloured photo's and diagrames as shown on the cover. More disappointing is the lack of images to follow a long with. If you're looking to build a bird house then this book offers no inspiration.

The book is really for the U.S. market so you may find it difficult to follew. It talks about American garden birds with American wood supplies so you won't feel as if the book is targeted for you, just the US diy'er.
