More Narrow-Lot Home Plans: 245 Versatile Designs Up to 50 Feet Wide

Summary: Not for City Lots, that's for Sure
Review: I looked at this book in hopes of finding ideas for remodeling or adding a story to an existing 1 story house. The house is on a 50 x 150 lot, pretty typical for a midwestern suburb. I would say that I saw about 2 plans (out of over 200) that could conceivably be placed on such a lot. Almost all of the designs wouldn't fit on a 50 foot wide lot. And those that would typically had the garage facing the long side of the lot with a full 35-40 foot wide house facing the short side of the lot. This would only work on a corner lot, unless you have a back alley, which seems pretty rare these days. So if you're dealing with a typical city/suburb lot, this isn't a good book at all. I'd be interested to know exactly what the editors believe a "narrow" lot is.

Summary: Worthless
Review: Tiny floor plans with a black and white drawing. No specifics or details. The plans aren't even for narrow lots. Avoid this title.
