Steve Baer's original Dome Cookbook, published in 1968, helped inspire a generation of baby-boomers to build their own houses and live off the land. This rare 1996 reprint by Steve and Holly Baer at Zomeworks Corporation is an 8.5"x11" reproduction of the original tabloid size newsprint version, and includes an introduction by Steve Baer and foreword by Paul Davis not in the original printings. The Dome Cookbook's unusual writing and layout style, like a live newscast from hippies on the front, informed Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog -- called the "Invention of Google Before Google" in a recent L.A. Times op-ed. In fact, by way of the Alloy conference in 1968, Baer's book influenced Stanford internet pioneers who laid the groundwork for the world-wide web.
If you want to deepen your understanding of the forces that led to Steve Baer & Co.'s discovery of the 31-zone system (the mathematical basis of the Zometool), the Dome Cookbook (1996 edition) is a rare find! (B&W, 48 pages, with photos, drawings and handwritten comments, saddle bound with an 80 lb. cover)
