This was likely an excellent book when it originally came out, but it is sadly a bit dated at this juncture. It's still a solid choice for someone looking for a first book to read if they want to learn something about homesteading. It is a very basic introduction to some of the choices one could make when operating a small homestead and trying to be more self-sufficient. It does have the value of giving the reader subjects to search for more indepth books on. Recommended only as a first read - if you've read anything else about homesteading, self-sufficiency or operating a small/hobby farm, this will give you nothing new and is simply a waste of your time.

During the last couple of decades many people have been looking for a much simpler lifestyle free from the urban hustle and bustle. One Acre gives ideas and directions for living that simpler life on a small piece of property.

Really really dated, but was probably quite visionary in the 1970s.
