Please note that when All About Selfbuild was published our intention was also to publish a companion volume called the InfoFile. This would have been a directory of manufacturers and services for house builders. However, the increasing popularity of the world wide web has led us to a change of plan. We now intend to publish the InfoFile on the web for free - sometime in the future!.
