  • Step Inside the Mind of the Man Who Built Coral Castle
  • In 1936, decades before his megalithic monument in Florida would become a world-famous mystery, Edward Leedskalnin self-published a deeply personal and highly eccentric pamphlet titled A Book in Every Home. While Leedskalnin is best known for single-handedly carving and moving over 1,100 tons of coral rock using secret methods of leverage and magnetism, this rare text reveals the inner psychological workings of the enigmatic builder.
  • Written as a treatise on domestic life, A Book in Every Home outlines Leedskalnin's highly idiosyncratic (and historically dated) views on marriage, the proper raising of children, politics, and daily household management. It heavily references his unrequited love for his Sweet Sixteen-the young Latvian fiancée who left him a day before their wedding, sparking his lifelong obsession and the ultimate creation of Coral Castle.
  • Inside this rare historical curiosity, readers will discover:
    • The Mind of a Megalith Builder: A unique window into the personal philosophy of one of America's greatest outsider engineers.
    • The Legend of Sweet Sixteen Leedskalnin's candid thoughts on love, heartbreak, and domestic partnerships.
    • Eccentric Wisdom: His unfiltered, 1930s-era opinions on how to structure a society and run a household.
  • Whether you are a researcher of the Coral Castle mysteries, a student of outsider art, or a collector of historical oddities, A Book in Every Home is a fascinating artifact from a truly brilliant and unusual mind.
