Bill Mollison's Permaculture Two now available online
Saturday, August 29th, 2009Bill Mollison’s 1979 classic Permaculture Two: Practical Design for Town and Country in Permanent Agriculture is currently changing hands on Amazon UK for nigh on £100 a copy, whether new or used. For anyone who’s been unable to source a copy of this seminal work, or to afford it, it’s now available online at Scribd.
The book does still appear to be available direct from Bill Mollison’s Tagari Press for a more modest £18/€20 (£37/€42 including shipping to Europe), but this presents something of a dilemma. You can’t give something back to one of the guys who started it all without giving an equal amount in support of an insane use of finite resources to deliver a book half way round the world. What to do? At least there is now an alternative to lining the pockets of Amazon booksellers …
