A very welcome addition to the literature' Tom Woolley, Professor of Architecture, Queens University Belfast, and author of the acclaimed Green Building Handbook 'The message from this book is that if you have the time and inclination then it is possible to source, check and incorporate reused materials into your buildings.'
