While I appreciate the depth of information in this book, sometimes it felt like too much at once. There are lots of tips for using hempcrete, but I wish it had more visuals to help with some of the complicated processes. Still, it’s a solid read!

Found a Few Errors
I really wanted to love this book, but I ran into a couple of errors regarding measurements that threw me off. It’s still a useful resource, but just be prepared to double-check some details. Wish it had been more polished!
