Hello,

I am guessing you're referring to Jack Verducci's book on structures? It gives an overview of materials, techniques, adhesives, placement in the garden, painting, windows/doors, and lighting. It does not focus on any one type of structure, but it shows photos of many kinds (enginehouse, houses, church, etc.)

If you are looking for reference information on structures or industries, our Model Railroader line of books has many choices. You might also check their scenery section since you are building mountains indoors. This one might be helpful.
