• disapointed
  I was totally disapointed with this book. It was not what I had expected at all nor what the name implied. I would not recommend it to anyone.

• Know the Facts Before Buying this Book
  John Seymoure is one of my favorite authors to read. He is brilliant, witty, wise and sincere about a subject that is dear to my heart: self-sufficiency and homesteding. That being said, please read this review before purchasing this book.

• forgotten crafts
  This book is great for research . I bought it because it was (I thought) going to teach me how to do some more things. It did not. I would not buy this again. I'll get rid of my copy as soon as I can.

• NOT USEFUL, but it does have nice sketches of stuff
  Somehow I was under the impression that this book would be useful, but I was dead wrong. I see the book is tagged with terms like "permaculture, homesteading, organic farming, survival, country skills..." How terribly misleading!!! Who tagged this book with those terms?!?! I am way into Permaculture and it's myriad disciplines, so I bought this book thinking it might help me make something useful with my hands, but not at all. It has nice sketches of things, but ends about there. A great coffee table book... more info
