Praise for the first edition: "How we have survived this long without Public Works I don't know. The concept is brilliant and simple. Szykitka has assembled 1,000 pages of sheer Information, almost all of it in the public domain, almost all of it available in booklet form from various government agencies or other public services. You and I are lazy and feckless, and if we are troubled by mildew we don't get around to writing the Department of Agriculture for guidance. (Or if we do, the mildew has either vanished or triumphed by the time the booklet arrives.) Szykitka, however, is a persistent fellow with an unbridled lust for collecting basic knowledge. If we had lived in a rural community a century ago, much of the knowledge gathered here would have been in our bones." -- Harper's Magazine, October 28, 1974, Praise for the first edition: "How we have survived this long without Public Works I don't know. The concept is brilliant and simple. Szykitka has assembled 1,000 pages of sheer Information, almost all of it in the public domain, almost all of it available in booklet form from various government agencies or other public services.

If we had lived in a rural community a century ago, much of the knowledge gathered here would have been in our bones." --Harper's Magazine, October 28, 1974, "It has the hand-hewn feel of the old Whole Earth Catalog and the weight of a phone book. . . . I find it to be perfect bedtime reading, and my dreams are filled with the care of corn crops and methods of collecting water after falling from an airplane. Public Works gives me fantasies of starting over with a few acres of farmland, a hammer, and a saw, and provides me with a vision of unelectrified reliance." --Paul Ford, The Morning News (Web-based periodical), November 26, 2002

A treasure chest of knowledge!
This book is a treasure chest of knowledge for anything to keep you living self-reliantly. This book should be in every home. I bought this book to have at my finger tips, information to help me and my family in most any situation and to provide us with better life skills. This book is filled with teachings of "how to" do just about anything. Skills that have been forgotten or not passed down through the generations, common sense self-reliant living. I suggest this book to anyone who desires not to be totally dependent on someone else with the knowledge this book provides. P.S. Yes, I know you can find everything on the internet, but only if you have all the services needed to get online, when you need to information. In times of disasters, etc, this book can be kept with you anywhere you go. It has first aid, basic survival skills, all you need to know. It is a great book!Read full review
