This Book Another Example of Squelched Information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Probably the reason this book is unavailable is because, at the time of it's authoring, 1974, the back to the land movement was just beginning. Refugies of the sixties' battle with the establishment over the Vietnam War, and cival rights, were just beginning to flee to a simpler, hopefully better life in the country. Every idea in this book was intended for people already living on the land (thus the 'nuts and bolts approach' subtitle). The book is total How To, since an exhaustive search by Hackleman could find only two manufacturers of "Windspinners," in France. The big money of the day was being invested, and still is, in the ridiculously, by comparison, inefficient propeller designs.
