Comment on Low Cost Living

I love the way this book shows how a less consumerist, more ecological lifestyle can also be more economical. I am also impressed by how it is helpful to those who are new to the concept as well as to those (like me) who are already converted.

It's very well organised and also indexed, so can be read cover to cover and just dipped into when you want information about something specific, and the basic guidance is nicely laced with interesting facts and background information.

The first half is all about food, (including recipes), and the second half covers the other aspects of our lives where savings can be made, and the environment treated a little more respectfully.

I am sure that anyone buying it will save the (minimal) cost of the book many times over by following the advice within it!

Growing Advice

Excellent - easy to read and extremely informative! From someone who loses interest part way through most books - that's one heck of a compliment! Would highly recommend. We are looking to move to France and becoming self sufficient - this book will definitely help. I bought the author's other books - all very well written

K D Taylor

Since buying this book, I have bought another 4 for my children and step children, and recommend 'soap nuts' to anyone whether it be for economic purposes or because you want to be more environmentally friendly or because you'd like to help the third world farmers who grow and harvest them!!

Mrs A Clarke

John Harrison is building a name as a writer of good common sense guides to living in the twenty first century.

This, his third book, expands on his 'grow your own' philosophy towarsds sensible self sufficency not in the good life doing without way but in a cut costs to live better manner. An excellent read and common sense advice well worth the cover price.
