It's not that this book has bad information or is poorly edited. The problem is that it's only 50 pages, and not a very informative 50 pages, either. It covers nothing in depth, so unless you don't know what homesteading is, you're not going to get anything out of this book. I believe I got it free, and I'm thankful for that, at least.

Nice introduction to what homesteading means and how I can incorporate more ideas into my current veggie gardening and chicken raising to be more self sustaining.
