Good-Bye To Old Peking: The Wartime Letters Of U.S. Marine Captain John Seymour Letcher, 1937-1939

Ohio University Press, 1998

Very readable, & descriptive of the times in pre-WWII China
Mr. Letcher's letters were written in a style that gives the reader a "visual" description of pre World War II China. Although some of his opinions may not be politically correct by todays standards, I think he honestly expresses his feelings of the people and surroundings at the time. Some of his predictions regarding the upcoming war are almost right on--however his prediction that ...

All the knowledge in the world
All the knowledge in the world is in this one book. Okay, maybe it just seems like it. John Seymour explains absolutely every skill you could possibly need for a self-sufficient lifestyle: gardening, animal husbandry, plowing with horse or tractor, building a hedge, brewing beer, making butter, blacksmithing, hunting, cooking, smoking, fishing, making clothes...EVERYTHING. As he says, man was ...

Great result
By purchasing this book on amazon I had it in my hot little hands before it hit the shelves here in Australia, and for two thirds of the retail price! The book arrived on time and undamaged, a great result all round.

Greatest Book Ever Written
This is the greatest self-sufficiency book ever written. That's my opinion. :) I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to become less impactful on the environment and to have more money in their pockets thanks to this style of living. You can do a little or a lot, depending on what you have to work with initially. This is an awesome, non-hippie/tree-hugger book about self-sufficiency ...

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." -- Henry Ford
During a recent business trip, I stopped by an airport store and saw a display of several volumes of the "Essential Managers" series. I purchased this one as well as Andy Bruce and Ken Langdon's Strategic Thinking, read both while en route home and was surprised, frankly, to find each to be remarkably comprehensive within a 69-page narrative. Obviously, the subject of maximizing performance is ...

Corgi, 1978

An indispensable book for the smallholder.
The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency is just that, how to get the best from a small garden, or a large farm, and everything in between. It is all covered, raising crops, and livestock, cure a ham, pickle onions, keep bees, generate power,and sink a well. The book is well written and I find myself refering to it constantly, it also makes a darn good read. The book is available in soft cover ...

This Book should still be in print!
I've checked this book out of my library so many times I've lost count. It is absolutely the best book on gardening I've ever read. Gardening: The introdution explains the fundamentals of nature's cycles and the ecology of gardening. The edible parts of plants are explained. There are then several pages of (beautiful!) illustrations of vegetables, fruits & herbs. The cycle of seasons is discussed ...

Blessed Isle: One Man's Ireland

Trafalgar Square Publishing, 1993

Interesting Glimpse into Ireland
Being a huge fan of self sufficiency and John Seymour, I decided to read this book. I was totally ignorant of Ireland and its history, so it was a very interesting collection of experiences and history, balanced with humor and seriousness. Highly recommended!

Back to the Land
I love narratives of people's experiences. Those are probably my very favorite types of books. We know and love John Seymour from later books based more on skills, how to, but this is his narrative, of his life with his family in England in the 1950s. Yeah, so he divorced and later moved to Ireland (hey, I'd rather live in Ireland too). This is still a beautiful and inspirational book. But ...

The Fat of the Land: Family Farming on Five Acres
One of the first 'off the grid' books written. A most excellent and helpful "how to" book on the topic of self sufficiency. If your serious about living off the land this will give you the info you need to make it work.

Natural Connections: Perspectives In Community-Based Conservation

1 review

Island Press, 1994

Must read!!
This book is the most complete and intelligent essay I have seen for the past 10 years of work with wildlife conservation and management. Should I have read before, it would have given me more insight in my career. This book is the result of an enormous work load done by scientists, politicians and anthropologists very well compiled in 400 pages.

Pendulum Press, 1987

A first rate book for the beginning self-sufficency farmer.
I am lucky enough to own a copy of "Farming for Self-Sufficiency." I have been following it's advice now for the past 6 years and have found it very helpful. You have to add your own caution to the words of Mr. Seymour because he is ever the optimist which is refreshing in the face of all the horror stories you will recieve from other sources. If you ever see any of his books for sale, buy ...

Timely advice
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!

The best NLP Introduction
I consider myself a dabbler in NLP and have read several books on the topic. Perhaps, "attempted to read" might be a more accurate depiction. I found the works by Bandler and Grinder and the Andreas's very difficult to get through. At the other end of the spectrum, there are other works on NLP or NLP-related techniques that are quite readable but seem geared towards those lacking all self-esteem. ...

Causeway, 1973

A pleasant read, well documented
I found this book to be pleasant to read. The writer's style is a bit quaint which lends itself well to the subject matter. The book is well organized in a chronological order and completely documented with source references included within the text. The stories are fun and sometimes creepy. Includes a lot of lore. Insufficient information is given to allow the reader to practice the ...

A Gardening CLASSIC, updated
Do yourself a major favor and disregard the shameful "Redundant" review. Instead, look up, "The Self-Sufficient Gardener" ( not this New one) here and see that this is HIGHLY regarded. I've had the old one for years, will buy this new updated one as well since I've worn out the former one. Many gardening books nowaday seem more akin to compilations of snippets from classics, but this one IS a ...
