\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tiny houses are here to stay. In recent years, with the mainstream success of Tumbleweed Tiny House Company<\/a>, housing prices going through the roof, greater awareness of sustainable and ecological living issues, living in tiny homes has become an attractive option for increasing numbers of people.<\/p>\n

Deek of Relax Shacks has posted his top 10 tiny houses books<\/a> for folks interested in designing or living in their own small home.<\/p>\n

Living in a Tiny House<\/h3>\n

Deek’s Top 10 list<\/a> includes favorites such as Home Work<\/em><\/a>, Radical Simplicity<\/em>, Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties<\/em>, and some other lesser known books on the subject of living the small life.<\/p>\n

These are books meant to inspire and educate about how living in a tiny house can be liberating, and an act of living environmentally.<\/p>\n

On a related note, Lloyd Kahn of Shelter Publications has been working on his own book\u00a0 about tiny living, titled: Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter<\/em><\/a>. The book is due out in February 2012. Yahoo!<\/p>\n
