Timeless Simplicity by John Lane
This is a book about simplicity, not destitution, not parsimoniousness, not self-denial, but the restoration of wealth in the midst of an affluence in which we are starving the spirit.
In keeping with its title, this is a straightforward book, beautifully illustrated, well ordered, with clear directions and useful referencesWhat is more, it is written without cant, and, most importantly, not by a zealot but by a practitioner. Only someone who has sought to practise the simple life would know its detail, the small matters that make it so. -- David Cadman * Resurgence *
