Good Book Sep 08, 2001
When this book came out, it was the best primer on Healthy Homes/Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. It is easy to read and covers most of the important stuff. John Bower has learned by doing.
He is one of the better authors covering home ventilation. On the down side, there are some vague referances not backed up with objective data.
All in all, well worth the money.

Lots of good info on Indoor Air Quality Mar 12, 2006
By H. Schulte
If you are concerned about indoor air quality, this is a good read. However, it left me a little paranoid. There are so many air contaminates listed in the book, it's hard to know how to improve your home. In the book itself it states that people have often replaced items in their home contributing to poor indoor air quality, only to find the replacement item was more toxic than the former item.
If you are building a home, read this first. If you already have a home.... this book will leave you wondering how to improve your life without spending your retirement fund.
Lots of good information in this book.

 A classic. A must for for any library on healthy homes Aug 17, 2007
By Daniel Stih
"Author, Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards Affecting Your Health"
John Bower is one of the original pioneers in writing books about how to make your home healthy. This is the classic text that describes what might be unhealthy in a home and provides specific suggestions for alternatives. Lots of product information, i.e, where to order alternative building materials, less toxic-paint, safe insulation, etc.

 info for new house is outdated Sep 22, 2009
By D. Leland
In my opinion, the book is a waste of my time. It's recommendations for building a new house are outdated. Most of the no-no's they talk about aren't the way it is done now.

Help at last! Nov 18, 2008
By M. Whinnery
Have you ever opened and hung a new vinyl shower curtain? Remember the odor, you can hardly breathe! Lots of things in our homes out-gas and make us sick, but not everything is as obvious as new vinyl. This author speaks from experience and shares what he's learned.
