While trolling eBay for Instant House finds, it occurred to me that I don't have a central listing of all the source material for Instant House. I toyed around with some database ideas and then I thought.....wait....why not post my holdings? So here they are--alphabetized by manufacturer, with a section at the end for "general reference". Please inquire if you would like to see more of something.
