Book Description

Winchester, MA: Faber & Faber, 1992. Unknown. Hard Cover. New/New. Novelist Joe Coomer was living in a small converted garage with his wife Heather when he undertook to build their first real home - a magnificent Queen Anne Victorian. As Joe built, so he wrote. Dream House follows the day-to-month construction of their home, from foundation to fretwork, through the long Texas days of shovel to earth, hammer to nail, dream to actuality. Spirited, meticulous, honest, this is a wonderfully readable book that conveys all the frustrations and triumphs of doing-it-yourself - and a strong sense of what makes a home home. 195 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
