The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency
John Seymour (Editorial director: Christopher Davis). Published by Faber & Faber, London, 1977. First edition, second printing. Hardback, very good condition. The cover shows minor wear, dust jacket missing.
This is the classic and most influential book of the 1970s “back-to-the-land” movement. John Seymour (1914–2004), author, broadcaster and self-sufficiency pioneer, wrote what soon became a manifesto for independent living. With detailed illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and clear guidance, Seymour presents how to live off the land – from growing crops and raising animals to brewing, dairying, carpentry, and energy-making.
More than a manual, this book embodies a philosophy: that individuals can take control of their own lives and live in harmony with nature. Its impact was widespread, inspiring eco-villages, organic farming movements, and later generations of sustainability activists.
This early edition from 1977 is especially collectible, as later versions were expanded and revised, but the first edition captures the spirit of the 1970s ecological awakening.
