permaculture

[Doug Clapp <doug.s.clapp@gmail.com>]

I'm a published writer (five books).  Paul is 100% correct:

Stealing a book or stealing the contents of a book is stealing, pure and
simple.

Get it from a library, save your money, ask for donations to buy a copy, but

DON'T STEAL BOOKS.

A worker is worthy of his hire.  Stealing a man's work is stealing part of
his life.

And, of course, the more money Mollison makes from his book, the more others
will also want to write permaculture books!
