Comments on Low Cost Living- Live Better, Spend Less

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!

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.

Timothy Wakefield

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

This fantastic book guides you through the simple way of living your life at a low cost! There is NO fancy, fluffy talk just straight forward information. Easy read, easy to use, just pick it up and away you go! If you havn’t got this book you should get it!!

Reviews for Our Books

Britain’s greatest allotment authority
Emma Townshend in the
Independent on Sunday

I think it’s just great. Another down to earth book for down to earth people,
teaching not preaching how it’s done.
Mr R W Braker

Forget about any glossy pictures, what’s in this book is solid
words of advice, written in plain to understand English from a grower who’s had
frustrating years of experience behind him in trying to grow nutritious vegetables,
whilst at the same time running a business and raising a family.

I’ve never made jams, chutneys etc. before but can’t stop now. This book
makes it so easy. Takes all the fear out of jam making.
Mrs S Collett

An informative book based on lots of practical experience and with loads
of top tips, as well as a wide range of delicious recipes.
