CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
easy to understand and well illustrated -
"The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It " by John Seymour is easy to read, easy to understand and well illustrated. The book covers a broad range of topics relevant to self-sufficient living. I've read quite a few books on "getting back to the land" and this book is the best introduction you can ask for - with an abundance of useful information.
Seymour takes on the topic like a cranky grandfather. He tells it like it is with little or no sugar coating. In addition, he knows what he's talking about - since he is one of the "grandfathers" of the sustainability movement.
If you are interested in sustainability, micro-farming, rural living - or just curious about "getting back to the land" - I highly recommend this book. While there are many books which are more in-depth on specific topics, this book is the best I've seen at giving the reader a well rounded introduction to the self-sufficient life.
