In this poignantly written\, heart-warming coming-of-age memoir\, Solis pays tribute to those cornerstone moments in his life\, negotiating borders at once personal and cultural\, with such color that the reader is left spellbound. Astonishing\, what more can I say?”\n—Greg Sarris\, author of How a Mountain Was Made and longtime Word for Word friend \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Evening with Octavio Solis\nJoin us on February 27.

There is a section on unique kitchen tools\, as well as advice on useful tools used in construction. \nLloyd\, the former shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog\, has published seven books on owner building\, showcasing hundreds of builders\, and this is his first book on his own work.
