Very happy I got this book, lots of great ideas to build birdhouses. I love the simple styles since I'm not into really fancy birdhouses. Comes with patterns and measurements, and lots of great info about what birds prefer, like the size of the house and size of the hole to attract different birds. Has the plans for a butterfly house I want to try, and a roosting ledge that I think the morning doves would like. Also want to build a purple martin house, I know they eat lots of mosquitoes.
In the back of the book there are some plans for building a few fancier birdhouses. May try some of those, too, I think they would make great gifts. My favorite one is the one shaped like a doghouse, really like that one.
5/5/11 Ordered another one for my dad for Father's Day!
