From Ghost Town Farm blog – Novella Carpenter:
My new book is coming out December 27 (hmm, right around the baby coming)! Willow Rosenthal and I have been slaving on this giant how-to book for the past three years or something. It’s called “The Essential Urban Farmer”. It’s got everything a budding or experienced urban farmer might want to know about growing veggies and fruit, securing land, and raising livestock in the city.

Finally, big news. Are you sitting down? I’m pregnant! Yup, that’s what happens when I take a break. Baby is due on Christmas. Billy and I are so excited. Human livestock. Wait, is that illegal?

What in the world is the publisher thinking?
Pricing the electronic edition higher than the
print edition is ridicules. The cost to print one
book is higher than the delivery cost of all the
Ebooks that they will ever sell. Kill trees make
money?

We have no room for another book but I will
buy this one in dead tree format. This looks
like a winner.

Peace, Bob
