A good book for those stating the process of self sufficency,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living on Less: An Authoritative Guide to Affordable Food, Fuel, and Shelter (Paperback)
This is a very good book for pointing people twords the path of self-sufficence. It is a general guide book that will allow people to get an idea of the trials and joys to be found in the back to the land movement. It is a starter book. The topics are general, and specic information is left to more specialized manuals. But for those who are beginng to think about taking an alternative to the "rat race" this book should give a good jump start.

Some good stuff, but nothing new,
By T. Rimmer "trimmer31" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living on Less: An Authoritative Guide to Affordable Food, Fuel, and Shelter (Paperback)
If you subscribe to the Mother Earth News, Countryside Magazine, or Backwoods Home -- don't bother buying this book. If you've read your magazines, you know all this stuff already. Otherwise, it is a great compilation of material that a beginner might not know. It's a heavy read, but great if you have a pressing interest in the subject material. It's heavy on the "getting there" and lighter on the "when you've gotten there" info. I've read better books on the subject -- but I've read worse, too.

Living on Less: An Authoritative Guide to Affordable Food, Fuel, and Shelter,
By Nancy J. Palmer "armchair prof." - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Living on Less: An Authoritative Guide to Affordable Food, Fuel, and Shelter (Paperback)
While an interesting read I feel that this publication leaves one wondering if this shouldn't have been a leaflet. I don't believe that certain chapters actually cover the subjects effectively while others seem to be overdone.The chapter on stocking up is fairly strange. Buying cases of paper towells is not really what those of us who actually practise living on less would do.....leaves one wondering who the book is written for. I feel that this was a frivilous purchase on my part. |
