 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... ( mharman7 )
If you are not building your own home, I don't recommend this book

Terrific
This book is excellent. It gave me all the information I wanted/needed plus more.

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.

The Craft of Modular Post & Beam
I first stumbled on this wonderful book in our local library. Read it cover to cover in two weeks and unfortunatly had to return it but, it is on my birthday wish list. This is the most informative book on the subject I have read to date. Mr Mitchell did an excellent job in the chapters covering the details of modular log home construction. Many of which I plan to use in the very near future.
