Book Reviews of The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It

Book Review: Timely advice
Summary: 5 Stars

What a great find at a time when our lives are having to do an about face! We may not end up with a farm per se but will use the helpful pages in this book to make ourselves less dependent on the super market at the very least. The illustrations are particularly good.
I recommend it to all I meet!
