The content is awesome! I can see that one needs to have the plans with them as they read this for it to come full circle. Having said that, the information is explained very well. On page 33 the left side is cropped off so all words are not clear and there are a few type "o's through the writing but again well done. I only wish this could available in a pdf file so it could be printed. This would make it more handy at the site once one begins.

As a first of (?) volumes it is filled with good information. Some of the pictures are a little far away to see any kind of detail on what it is supposed to represent. Some of the pictures could have been videos since this is an electronic book meant to stay on the server. I would like to have known before I purchased that this was just part of a series of steps. I thought it was at least half of a new book with details for building the new Global ES, but it seems to just promote the EB plan sales, which you need to purchase to really know what is to be done. I think you could use this information to do a good job building an ES if you have read all the other books and watched all the videos you can get your hands on. I would pay for a good complete book on the designs of an ES set into the side of a hill (25° slope). Everything I read deals with a flat piece of land. When I build my house based on the ES concept I plan to document every little detail, maybe I'll write a book and sell some videos of the process to recoup my hard work. :-)

I was expecting more than just a VERY quick overview of how the building was constructed. No explanations of any of the concepts or principles used in building an Earthship home. This "book" had very limited information.
