I give this book 8 out of 10 acorns. It is one of the first
books on my shelf that I reach for when I'm looking for information and it often provides what I am looking for. This would be a great book to give to someone that is just starting to show interest in
permaculture, or someone already knee-deep into it. I like the style of writing and the inclusion of case studies of successful applications of the techniques described in the book. Most importantly though, I have watched
enough videos of Toby that my brain has been programmed to hear his voice when I'm reading his words. He had a very calming, reassuring and encouraging way of speaking that I'm quite happy to remember so clearly.
