Living on the Earth

Living on the Earth Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:


"LIVING ON THE EARTH is beautiful to see, hold, touch. The drawings and design radiate warmth, simplicity, sincerity. The whole effect of the book, as an object, is to induce serenity and goodwill Ö The information in it is useful to everybody everywhere who wants to enjoy and play with the good things in this life."
--Raymond Mungo, The New York Times Book Review

"LIVING ON THE EARTH is a living experience. It compounds all of the Whole Earth Catalogís hard-core information with all of the personal warmth and feeling that a girl with a melodically infatuating name like Alicia Bay Laurel could possess. Ö It reads as if she were writing a never-ending letter to you and you alone."
--The Village Voice

"May well be the best book in this catalog,"
--Whole Earth Catalog
