Just ordered this book. Actually, I tweeted that I wanted it and someone actually hooked me up! Can't believe it. I'm sure it'll be helpful.

Seriously, use these.. you can't even buy the wood alone for the same price for making frame yourself.
Buy a couple packs of Rockwool terrain bats which is the most dense.
A knife (To cut bats to size), a large hole drill (Drill large holes in the back of bookshelfs)
Old bedsheets for front cover.
1 hour later you have yourself some excellent bass traps.
Buy some wheels for your traps, make 3 of above and you can wheel them around and make a vocal booth when needed.
Expensive studio monitors in an untreated room is money down the drain.
