"The Lost Art of Steam Heating" is my steam bible. This is a must read for everyone from the involved homeowner to the heating professional. There is history, technical info, easy to understand diagrams and great stories all surrounding steam heat. Its the type of book you can read over and over and continue to learn from. I strongly recommend this book in addition to attending Dans Dead Men Steam Seminar. They compliment each other very nice.

Any plumber who hasn't read this book is not a plumber and shouldn't be allowed to tough a steam system.

This book is excellent. My wife bought me this book as part of the super deal with the "We got Steam Heat" and "A pocketful of Steam Problems (with Solutions). These books have been invaluable to me as a homeowner and have given me the confidence and knowledge to tackle a lot of our steam problems ourselves. I encourage anyone with a steam heating system to read these books before contacting your local contractor. It will provide you with the right information to make the right decisions and avoid throwing money at a situation that may have an easy solution (i.e. venting, insulation etc). We no longer have cold rooms in our house and our daughters are no longer suffer in cold bedrooms; what a difference to last season. And as an added bonus we have seen a 40% savings in our heating bill.
