I am looking for a book to borrow...

[JohnyMac]

... it is called "A Failure of Civiliy" by Mike Garand & Jack Lawsin.

If anybody has that book and is willing to loan it out I would love to borrow it.

If their are forum members who would like to read the book but don't want to dish out the $75- for it maybe we could go in on it together. Two people, $40- each, three, $25- each, etc. You get the idea.

This help?  Or contact your local library.  A nickel says they could get a copy.

Try both below.  If the PDF isn't it, there are a fair number of other options on the google search below.

There are some available on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Failure-of-Civility-/253084059122?_trksid=p2349526.m2548.l4275     I consider it to be one of my indispensable books, along with Beyond Collapse by Miller.  There's another one along the same lines, but I don't recall the title, and I can't find it in my library.

I thought that PDF was all of the book.  I was in error.  But we all have the first 80 or so pages.  Enough to evaluate if nothing better.

Thx Jackalope for your suggestions.

Is the book worth $50-?

Kbop, I would rather have a hard book rather than a PDF. Some books I don't care but some I really like having a book to high-light or dog ear pages. This one is one of those.

[Jackalope]

I bought the book several years ago, and if I remember correctly, I paid around $40. I'd say that it is probably worth $50+.  It's among a pile of books that I'd take with me if I ever had to bug out. I believe that I originally bought it based upon Matt Bracken's review.

The other book that I couldn't remember the title is "When Technology Fails" by Matthew Stein. The engineer author details how to maintain a simple level of technology. I have literally thousands of books on a wide variety of subjects.  However, the books that I would count on are mostly homesteading books, since in the long term, food is going to be a priority.
