"The absolute best home-scale permaculture manual there is. I can't think of a better book to get people introduced to permaculture in a way that they can begin to enact immediately and effectively. To me, this takes the place of the PDM as top book because of its accessibility for someone who has never heard of permaculture."

"This closes the loop between what we eat and the soil. I think it's one of the most important books ever written, if I'm going to be honest."

"This gives a pretty fantastic insight into a really large-scale permaculture operation. In many places it explains things in a way that says "Oh, that's so easy, why haven't I been doing it all along," but in others it's a bit vague, and so I can't rate it much higher."

"I think Intro to Permaculture gives some really good insight into some hands on projects you can attempt, but it is dry and hard to read because of it, so I've got to drop it down a few spots."
