Reception

The book has received reviews from publications including Library Journal, Resource Magazine, Bristol Post, The Times, and Publishers Weekly.[3][4][5][6][7]

Publishers Weekly stated that the book was a "inspiring blueprint for eco-living" and that the "book's lush color photography, earnest prose and pragmatic approach will appeal widely as concern over global warming mounts". Drawbacks pointed out were that "much of its information can be found on the authors' own popular site and the exclusive British focus leaves those in other countries confused during lengthy discussions of specific edible mushrooms and planting calendars".[7]

gollark: 3KST from iron, maybe 3KST from gold too - one turtle worth, excluding iron.
gollark: I have about a stack of ore ready to go. That's 3KST. Not really worth it.
gollark: Mining turtles aren't *that* cheap.
gollark: Now that I have automining going, GTech will begin selling iron and gold ingots at 0.5KST and 1.5KST respectively.
gollark: This is ridiculous. We should all get them or nobody should.
