Buy it for its reference information only

Three dollars and fifty cents! I bought it for the reference information mentioned in my review title, i.e., entrance hole sizes by species, along with nest height. For $20, that would be a big one or two stars. For $3.50, that's a solid 5 stars! This is not a pretty backyard birdhouse plan...

Good Book

I have looked through this book and I like it. It could use a bit more detail on the drawings but I think there is enough detail to get the job done. I am an experienced woodworker and I was looking for a book with plans so my daughter and I could make some bird houses. This book does the trick.
