Finnish Sauna

Rating:
Summary: Authoritative and accurate
Review: Allan Konya has written the most complete text on the Finnish sauna, covering the broad spectrum from the origins and rituals (something often overlooked),design and construction, materials, siting and layout. Every facet of the subject is thoroughly covered in detail and one comes away feeling he has finally understood what it takes to make a "good" sauna. This book follows quite closely the earlier text; "The International Handbook of Finnish Sauna" written by Allan Konya and Alewyn Burger. Anyone interested in designing,building or using a sauna should try to locate this book. It is the "bible" of the Finnish Sauna and is far superior to any other text on the subject.I have designed and built several saunas and still find useful information and inspiration in this book.
