Exactly what you would expect if you physically pick up the book. A cute, thin book with a short paragraph and a couple pages of images about each house. The decor is very much of its time, but still worth flipping through every once in a while.

Converted into Houses, Charles A. Fracchia, 1977

The Empty City, Andrew Looney, 2002
This is a fun silly little book.
It’s nothing special and the writing is just ok. But it is worth a read for people who are into the Icehouse pyramid games.
The story is just about four dudes that play the Icehouse game and the world that happens around and happens to them. The charm is found in its focus on mundane life in all its glorious weirdness.
This novel is an interesting example of how fiction can be a muse to jumpstart a creative endeavor which has now turned into Looney Labs.
