Re: The Permaculturist's Bookshelf
We offer many books, pamphlets and papers regarding permaculture. Yankee
Permaculture Paper #27 is a special order catalog with descriptions that
covers more material than our regular order form. Neither our
publications newsletter nor the Yankee Permacutlure Order Form fit alotted
space here. Email us if interested. I'll nip a few items from our
publications newsletter below.

Yankee Permaculture Publication News
These publications are available now from Yankee Permaculture. Some may
not be listed on our order form yet.
* How to Live--Free at Last available by special order.
How to Live--Free at Last by Dr. P. ffyske Howden. This book offers
"great escape into genteel frugality + vehicle for $28 weekly on 1/4 acre
- or in an apartment?" "Spend only 2 hours weekly working at home
life-support systemsx. Choosing a site wisely, afford a big quality
$13,000 kit home. Liberate yourself from boring drudgery into relaxed
creativity with cleverly reduced housework, using alternatives & by
growing only multi-use tree veggies, planting a mere 4 trees monthly
including natives, many outside front fences." We find this to be a
valuable source of ideas, inventions, standard designs, and inspiration
for permaculture design and living. Australian print version, 120 pages.
(US page format will be more.) Computer disk, MAC Macwrite or TEXT, $25
base price + P&H (See disk rate sheets for other formats.) Print-out or
photocopy (our option), $35.00 + P&H. Australians order directly from the
author at Back Yard Tech Enterprises, Cone St., Macleay Island QLD 4184.
Available as SP. 46 from our Special Order Catalog. (Order the entire
catalog, Yankee Permaculture Paper #27, using the Yankee Permaculture
Order form.)
* PROD--Permaculture Review, Overview and Digest
That's the name of the latest publication from Yankee Permaculture.
Published in a newsletter format, PROD includes digests of articles and
other information sources gleaned from our far flung permaculture
connections. Any information of value in practicing permaculture is fair
game. PROD reviews books, magazines, and organizations of particular
interest to permaculturists. From time to time, a digest or review will
encourage us to provide an overview of the topic. For example, in issue
#1, two digests related to agroforestry encouraged us to include an
agroforestry directory, selected from our master organizational database,
TRIP. (TRIP is available in its entirety, of course. See our order form.)
We'll also draw on our publications and suppliers databases, and our
extensive library and files, to round out items digested from other
publications. PROD volumes will consist of four issues with four pages
per issue, if we can contain our enthusiasm. Already issue number one is
six pages. That made room for a directory of hundreds of groups working
in agroforestry, an article on permaculture ethics, a digested article on
raising pigs on tree leaves in the tropics, a related article of feeding
tree leaves to rabbits and chickens including a table never before
published, a digest of an article on bamboo in permaculture design, a
follow-up list of bamboo associations, and book reviews relating to
agroforestry and bamboo. As subscriptions increase, we expect that the
size of the issues will as well. Subscriptions are US$15 + p&h. Sample
issues are $5 postpaid. For 1996, PROD is included as a bonus with our
other newsletter, Robin, so if you choose you can get two newsletters for
the price of one. PROD is also available on computer disk. Write for
details. P&H at least $3 or 10% in US or 20% elsewhere, whichever is
greater.
