Since the sales of the Activist pays for the publishing of it (and not much more) we find the fees charged by credit card companies excessive (Paypal adds even more fees) and we do not support them. So, we take personal checks and money orders. Peter Bane, the editor, IS the the entire book department (and the advertising department and basically every other department and all of this in addition to a huge teaching schedule, occasional consulting and design projects, bookeeping for Earthaven, mountains of email, committee meetings, building OURSELVES a new office [we're FINALLY in after 4 years - praise God / Goddess], logging, road construction, water tank construction, mushroom propagation and a myriad of other tasks. Toby Hemenway [bless him again and again] and I do our best to help out. Hacking an ecovillage out of the woods on a very low budget is a full time job in itself.). We are VERY grateful for your support. Pattern Language (the second in the series with all the patterns numbered for easy reference, the principal book for designers) is $65, Holmgren's excellent new book is $28, and 3 years (first time in 18 years that we will produce 4 issues a year) of the Activist is $55, for a total of $148 + $14.80 for shipping and handling (total $162.80) Please send your payment to The Permaculture Activist, PO Box 1209, Black Mountain, NC 28711.

Thank you very much Lawrence,.

Ahh but how does one order from the Activist? Online? Via the phone?

When you can order a thousand books at a time, you can charge whatever you want for it. Notice all the disappearing independently owned bookstores. The megastores are killing communities and the "pattern language" of local culture. Meanwhile, if our book business dies, so might the Permaculture Activist magazine. You're free to invest in that if you choose. Unless you prefer to "stand strong together" and support those who are struggling to serve you.

Good news! We just added Christopher Alexander's (et.al.) monumental work, A Pattern Language, to our booklist.


Hang on Keith, I'll subscribe to the PC Activist and buy several books.
I've been looking for this awhile. How much is it from you all?
Could you post exact ordering info, all costs, etc. for 3 years PC Activist,
A Pattern Language and Holmgren's book?
Also could you describe a Pattern Language a bit - I want to make sure its the same book I tried to get from Borders.
Thx,
LL
