THE FIBRO FRONTIER
Charles Pickett
In the housing boom of the 1950s one-third of all houses were owner built & most of them were made of fibro (asbestos cement). This book examines fibro in all its glory - from the holiday shacks, genteel bungalows & fun fairs of the past to the airports and award-winning houses of today.
