Here's how self-absorbed I can get: I keep going back to the Greenbuild bookstore to see how many copies of Green Building Products are displayed. (I'm a co-editor with Alex Wilson.) It's not like I get royalties or anything; any of that funnels back into the company. It's just pure vanity, I guess.
The stack goes up and down—three books, then five, then two, then four. A few minutes ago, there were eleven. It didn't take much effort to convince myself that they're tired of restocking, so put out a mess of them. Ah, fame. Or maybe people just find it a useful resource.
From the sales pitch:
Here's a comprehensive directory of green building products for home building and remodeling featuring nearly 1,600 descriptive listings for products from agrifiber panels to zero-VOC paints. All phases of residential construction are covered, from sitework to flooring to renewable energy. Products are grouped by function, and each chapter begins with a discussion of key environmental considerations and what to look for in a green product."This book makes it easy to find the information and product advice you need, and it's a must for anyone—builder, designer, architect or homeowner—who wants to know the unbiased, and unembellished truth about what's really 'green'," says Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big House.
