Self explanatory
Absolutely wonderful book, very useful in planning your own place whether its small or large. It has wonderful ideas for all areas in being self-sufficient whether its apartment dwelling or having a large or small homestead. I particularly love the ideas in the book on livestock and how to maintain them even in as small a space as 1 acre. Unbelievable that it is possible, but the book explains how. Amazing! This book also has recipes for food, medicinal purposes, feed for animals, all preservation of food as well as food for plants. I recommend this book to everyone, and I do mean everyone since it covers taking care of oneself and family to the fullest extent possible.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I love it
If you love the whole idea of modern-day homesteading this is a feast. I pulled the book out of the wrapper and thumbed cover-to-cover for 2 hours reading bits and pieces. If you were designing a degree plan for thriving on a modern hobby farm this book would be an overview of the curriculum. Very enjoyable for me. This is a well-used book with some water damage and not a coffee table centerpiece. The less than perfect appearance does not (for me at least) appreciably subtract from its value to me or my enjoyment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
