Field guides

Read the relationship, not just the label.

Practical explanations of the questions that most often distort a property reading—from front-door bearings to roads, slopes, backing, and open space.

Editorial standard

Each guide begins with a direct answer, then separates visible form, measured evidence, traditional interpretation, uncertainty, and practical verification. A nearby feature does not become favorable or unfavorable until its relationship to the house is established.
