Book Reviews of The Modern Homestead Manual
Book Review: A worthwhile read if you want a basic overview
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is worth reading if what you are looking for is a basic overview of some basic homesteading concepts. It's great for working out a "big picture" plan but comes very short on details.
The exception to the above comment is the chapter on alternative water systems, which is rather in depth. But, of course, you will still need to do quite a bit of extra research before implementing any of the ideas therein.
The author presents some good ideas and concepts in an easy to read format, the illustrations are comical and fun, and the chapter titled "Elaine's Chapter" is a priceless gem of whimsical, down to earth, practicality.
All in all, a book worthy of receiving a 4 star rating.
