If you're into keeping books on your coffee table, Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design would be a stunner. If you're not -- it would still be a nice one to have on the bookshelf.
It's like a Green House Tour marathon in print, with hundreds of photographs of the interiors and gardens of 22 green homes. This edition also includes an introduction by green building pioneer William McDonough.
It's full of inspiration for anyone interested in green design -- and, lucky for you, we've got a copy to give away.
If you'd like a chance to win a copy of Living Homes, which retails for $29.95, leave us a comment below by Monday 4/7 at noon EST. We'll choose a winner randomly.

That book looks fabulous, and sustainable architecture is a big interest for me- I work at the Springs Preserve, a large portion of which was built to LEED Platinum level, and using many different ancient and new building techniques, including rammed earth, earth berming, straw bale, and cool towers... I would love to win this book!
