CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A lot of pratical information - 
This book covers post and beam, as opposed to timber framing. This is more a practical tip&tricks book than a design or engineering book. It starts with philosophical review of house construction and emphasizes on building cheap, using wood. It covers A LOT of subject, but not deeply. You will find in that book some joinery details, but not a lot and not complete. The focus is on how to build a modern house, as opposed to timber framers who build a classic house without metal. The author doesn't have any problem to build with metal, where and when et makes sense. He will also use wood to wood joinery, where it makes sense.
For all the steps to build a house (with his techniques) he will offer step by step instructions. By itself, I don't think there is enough details in any section to take any non-builder person and make him a builder, but it will give general knowledge for somebody who has minimal manual experience. Then there is always the time and money issue: The book philosophy is to build a house cheaply yourself, which implies a lot of time. If you fit that model, and happen to have a land with a lot of trees on it, this book is perfect for you.

Post & Beam is excellent -
This book is by far the best I have read on the subject of post and beam construction. Lots of nice drawings and understandable instructions. Good advice for average person. Explains wood joinery very well
Not for the non-builder... -

I actually did it. -
The other reviewers of this book allude to the fact that they will someday get around to using the information. I have already done it and wanted to add my comments here.
I used this book as my "bible" to construct a 24x40 log home with a porch wrapped all the way around. It took two years, but I couldn't have done it by myself without the theories and examples in this book. My joinery isn't as pretty as the ones in the book, but I used them and wooden pegs to secure all the posts and beams in the house.
I highly recommend this book to all who have their own 'library' of log home books and need some practical advice that works.
