Some edge wear and a couple of tiny closed tears to top and bottom of largely lemon yellow jacket and spine, some sticky dust staining to top of page block and covers, not price clipped (price on back jacket (£9,99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 144pp, illustrated. Before you can make your first recipe from home grown ingredients you will need to 'buy a field' or otherwise obtain one. As if passing her knowledge and wisdom, as well as her personal beliefs down through the generations, Rosamund Young has brought together a lyrical narrative charting the long, hard and realistic journey towards self-sufficiency making this a delicious collection of anecdotes, country knowledge and recipes as well as plenty of her own thoughts, all told beautifully and with passion by one of the UK's most passionate advocates of the self sufficient, organic lifestyle. Quite a scarce book.
