The New
Complete Book of Self-sufficiency
The classic guide for realists and dreamers
John Seymour 2009 (UK)
This newly-expanded classic is a key reference
to living off the land. Packed with practical
information, tried-and-tested tips and
invaluable nuggets of advice, Seymour’s
visionary handbook explains how to reap the
harvest, respect the land, stay healthy and
waste nothing. While this UK publication focuses
on a different climate, flora and fauna the
principles and skills apply worldwide and since
its original release in 1976 has been cherished
and considered the best book ever written on
this wide subject.
As well as fruit and vegetable growing, soil
health and animal husbandry, there are chapters
covering cheese making, bread making, brewing
and preserving. Essential crafts and skills –
for instance knots and rope work, pottery and
working with stone – are explained in
straightforward language with beautiful, clear
illustrations. An excellent reference book.
408pp hardcover with gorgeous full colour
drawings.
