Review: I'm completely renovating my California hillside home and bought this book hoping to find at least one or two interesting plans and was completely disappointed. The houses in this book are very conventional. If you want to see some interesting ideas that play with terrain, redwood and open floor plans, get Langworthy's "Hillside Homes" instead.

Review: My wife and I were disappointed with the plans. Many seemed old and outdated. Although there were a few interesting designs, most of the newer designs were for homes >3000 square feet.

Review: Watch it! It is very easy to buy an older edition. Especially when the publishers changed the plans from 214 down to 208. Newer book has some great ideas.
