Sustainable Living Books
& Raw Food Books 30% off

Frustrated by the complexities and incomprehensibleness of modern urban existence and armed with passion about peaceful, self-subsistent rural life (a passion fired by books from the walking-the-talkers such as the Nearings, Robert Hart, and Joseph Jenkins) as well as a certain knowledge that beautiful and cozy homes can be made affordably (often less than $1000) out of earth and straw (cob and strawbale houses), the modern homesteading hopeful is no longer at a loss as to where to begin. All materials for home-building can come from sustainable natural resources such as clay, sand, driftwood, straw, and hemp in addition to recycled stuff found at demolition sites, garage sale, or a beach nearby. The bonus is that these low-tech, low-impact, time-tested homes can last up to a thousand years (judging from 600-year-old cob cottages in excellent shape that are found all over England). The work will keep you in shape and the organic home-grown diet will keep you healthy. Over and over, people who've done it are speading the word: it's not as hard as you think!

As opposed to the act of clear-cutting forests for paper as we are, we nevertheless feel that the knowledge imparted by a select number of enlightening books outweighs the impact of the paper they're printed on. Better still are books such as the Humanure Handbook, which are printed on recycled paper at the insistence of its author.

We think libraries are great for reducing the number of copies of books being circulated and hence the number of trees having to be cut down to print them (most books are read once -- or worse, bought but never read -- and discarded in the trash). And the internet is even better at disseminating information, so we encourage its use as much as possible.

In fact, many enlightened authors publish their whole works on the internet so that all may benefit from their work (even those who can't afford to buy books) in the belief that essential knowledge is meant to be shared, not exploited.

By discounting every book that we offer by 30% (reflecting the cost at which we acquire them), we are doing our part in keeping the wise words in these rare books alive. At the same time, we are not profiting from the act of turning trees into paper.

We hope you enjoy our selection of sustainable living, voluntary simplicity, homesteading, health, and raw foods books, a selection we've made only after scouring through countless libraries and catalogues. All of our books also qualify for our $5 Economy shipping, no matter how many items you order. We plan to provide exhaustive reviews and excerpts from all of our books in the ensuing weeks.

May truth, peace, simplicity, and sustainability prevail -- from the folks at Rawganique.com.

By Jack Herer

From the H'emperor Jack Herer himself! This is the book that tells all, does all, inspires all in a most engaging, mind-boggling way when it comes to hemp. This is the book that single-handedly brought hemp back, the one and only underground bible of the hemp and sustainable living movement.

We're excited to be able to offer this next-to-impossible-to-find hemp book. Covers the cultivation of hemp as well as hemp's history, politics, economy, and endless possibilities. There's no way around it, if you're at all interested in hemp or the future of our planet, this is the book to own.

In this thoroughly researched, scrupulously annotated, and shockingly provocative book you'll learn:
