Good, for what it is, Feb 16 2012
By Michael Bunker "author of The Last Pilgrims saga" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Book of the Farm (Hardcover)
After watching Victorian Farm, I bought this book immediately. I live off off-grid in Central Texas and much of what we do here is live our lives according to the old ways. This book seemed to be a great asset for us. What Alex Langlands wrote and offered is really good. I'd love to read a book from him. In my mind, he is very close to figuring out what is wrong with the world, and he hints at it in this book (suggesting that perhaps knowing how to operate a horse would be a great thing if society were to collapse, etc.). Unhappily, the book itself has been heavily, heavily abridged, and much of what would have been great information for people living like we do has been left out. What we'd really like is the whole Book of the Farm in an unabridged version. That was what I was hoping to get, and that is not what this book is.That said, I want to remind the customer that what is here is very good, and I'm not upset that I bought the book. I would just have liked to have the whole Book of the Farm and not an abridged version.

Beautiful Book, Sep 20 2011

This review is from: Book of the Farm (Hardcover)
After watching Victorian Farm, I was interested to see that the Book of the Farm was available after watching them refer to it so often. The book is beautifully done, with lovely illustrations. Alex Langlands has done a wonderful job of editing the book and bringing it to a new generation. Note that this is not the previously reviewed Kindle edition, it is new hardcover updated book.
Listmania!
