Hey y’all, I live up in Mountain Ranch, CA, about 1.5 hrs southeast of Sacramento. I am desperately looking for this book by Bill Mollison, but it’s over $100 online and none of my local libraries have it. I was wondering if anyone near me in California or elsewhere has it and is willing to let me borrow or have it? If you’re close I can drive to you, otherwise I can pay you to ship it to me. I’m looking to do earthworks permaculture work on land around here to help improve the forests, increase water retention, and reduce wildfire risk. I feel the next step in my learning is to specifically focus on making berms/swales, and have heard great things about this book related to these concepts. Please let me know if you have access to this book and are willing to share. Thank you very much.
-Sean

Even at 100 you will get great value from it.
Any earthworks will be costing a lot more than the book cost.

My library can get it through interlibrary loan pretty quickly.

I concur it’s worth the price I paid (115$) many times over. It is on my short list of books I will never lend to anyone. I did however buy a copy of it for my brother, and my best friend. Inter Library Loan is also an amazing under utilized resource.
