I first encountered this book in its early '70's original format, when it was a relatively light A4 soft-bound volume, admittedly a lot easier to handle than this modern version. The clarity of the illustrations and the delightfully sensible text deeply impressed me then, and still does today. I think readers would enjoy this book on several levels - as a 'dreamers'' coffee-table book for browsing, as a planning aid for making the most of existing resources of land and time, and as an instruction book for a complete change of lifestyle to full self-sufficiency. I particularly like the realism of the writing - there's no dreamy, airy-fairy hippy stuff here - it's when to sow and dig your turnips, and how much land you'd need to live off completely. Intensely practical and well-illustrated, this is a splendid great Tome in praise of making the most of one's abilities, time, and land to live well and joyously.Read full review
