Expensive,  short on details, tells you to buy cheap – wouldn’t we all like to do that! Investor oriented.

Be a Successful Residential Land Developer (Paperback)
R. Dodge Woodson (2004) McGraw-Hill Professional.
Lots of useful information, geared more to the developer. But worth looking at.

Building Your Own Home For Dummies.
Kevin Daum, Janice Brewster, Peter Economy (2005) Wiley.
Has a few pages on land selection.  If this is your first building project you may want to get this book for all the other info as well!
