Who wrote it: Your Dream Home: How to Build It for Less than $3,500 is a postwar home-building guide by Hubbard Cobb, published by Wm. H. Wise and Company in 1950.

What it's about: Written for the do-it-yourself homeowner of the postwar boom, the book covers planning, financing, and building a house room by room, with floor plans and practical advice throughout. It is a fascinating window into mid-century American home life.

Special features: The book is packed with period floor plans, cutaway diagrams, and illustrations of houses and building details.

Why I like it: I have found this book once before, and I just find it fascinating to flip through all the different house plans!

Condition: Hardcover with dust jacket; the jacket shows edge wear, and there is a previous owner's inscription inside the front. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting, ❤️ Jess
