 Rating:  - Great ideas and well writtenThis book really hit home. In Fall 2008 the wisdom of small homes is really becoming clear with our present mass economic crunch in the US.

And if a person is looking to modify their life to lessen the effects of the "rat race", this book will suggest excellent options that will save a person YEARS of labor and savings and costs, which can then be devoted to ???? making a better life all around !
