BIBLIOGRAPHY 



THERE is an immense literature, most of it hopelessly in- 

 adequate, dealing with the problems of living with which 

 we as a family struggled in the effort to establish a 

 more or less self -sufficient home. The great bulk of the 

 books and pamphlets which we studied was written by 

 specialists and for specialists. It was therefore burdened 

 down with minute details of importance only to those 

 teaching a particular subject or producing some one com- 

 modity, and often harmful to us because we could not dis- 

 tinguish essentials from non-essentials. There is unques- 

 tionably a need for books which will adapt the vast wealth 

 of information available to the needs of those who plan to 

 produce primarily for their own use. 



The list of books and pamphlets which follow include 

 those which we found helpful and others recommended to 

 us.
