My husband Kelly has a massive website on all aspects of natural building, greenhomebuilding.com and a smaller one, earthbagbuilding.com. The other day I got curious what the most popular books on green home building were, so I downloaded the stats for four years of what had sold on Amazon through his sites. Here they are, in the order of popularity, and the links take you to Amazon. #25 is a major favorite of mine, and not just because our earthbag house is in it. I used to be a librarian and I do love doing book lists!
