[.ca] Green Building Resource Guide (ISBN 1561582190)

From Amazon.com:
Green Building Resource Guide is the first truly comprehensive resource guide for environmentally friendly building materials. It includes both structural and finish materials such as recycled lumber, natural-fiber carpeting, low-toxic adhesives, and energy- and resource-efficient appliances. Author John Hermannsson rates and compares the materials against more commonly known examples and lists manufacturers and suppliers, along with their phone numbers. Whether building a home or remodeling, Green Building Resource Guide is an essential source for anyone who wants to proceed the Earth-friendly way. Who doesn't?

List of Manufacturers:
From page 4 on to the last page, all this book has is a list of products, their manufacturers and a one paragraph description of the product. This might be valuable to some people, but for those of us looking for a guide on building green, this book is disappointing.

Dynamite book on green building materials:
This is an outstanding book for those interested in researching a wide assortment of green building materials from roofing materials to lumber to structural insulated panels. It's by far the best book on the subject. This book list sources and lots of other useful information on hundreds of products. I found the cost figures especially useful. It does what it sets out to do admirably well. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in green building and hope the author and publisher will update it periodically!
