Practical Homesteading is no longer Practical
Published by Abigayle , 5 years ago
This is a very dated book, from the 70's. The numbers throw out, in terms of expenses are very dated, as are move of the ways to get things done. There are a few good points, and their Christmas story was heartwarming, but I feel this information can be found with more up to date information. This book was also falling apart when I opened it.
An Oldie but a REAL Goodie!

Timeless. Complete. Thorough. Essential. Do your best to add this book to your personal library collection. John Vivian is one of the key authors on Self-sufficiency, well before it become 'the ethical thing' to do. His knowledge and advice has been well-tested and has stood on firm footing through the decades.
THE Best Book on Homesteading PERIOD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
John Vivian's book was a true discovery. This is quite possibly the most authoritative book on the subject that there is. If you are looking for comprehensive information on the practice of homesteading, sustainable living, or being socially responsible through managing your consumption, this is the best book out there, period.
Best book for a wannabe dreamer

I'm a wannabe who dreams of chucking the corporate life of commutes and taxes. I've read a lot of back-to-the-land books both old and newer and this is the best one I've found to date.
