5.0 out of 5 stars
Back In Print,
By Eve Muir (New Orleans, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Velvet Monkey Wrench: Millennial (Paperback)
I notice the reviews for The Velvet Monkey Wrench say they reviewed an out of print edition. This book is back in print, the magenta edition as pictured, with an afterword by me, Eve Muir. Richard Polese of Ocean Tree Publications writes: "A revolutionary classic of social philosophy --- and just in time --- to challenge the assumptions of greed and corporate capitalism that have left us yearning for a more human system." I happened to have it the other day at the park and remembered: it's also quite funny.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A good read spoiled by poor quality printing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Velvet Monkey Wrench: Millennial (Paperback)
A fun book to read, but it's a shame that the printing and reproduction of the illustrations is not up to the quality of the text. The original publication had sharp, clear print and clean, narrow lineweights in the graphics. In this edition, much of the illustration text cannot be deciphered. I recommend finding a used copy of the original edition with multicolor cover.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Glad it's back in print!,

This review is from: Velvet Monkey Wrench: Millennial (Paperback)
I used this book in teaching social philosophy for a number of years. The author applies an engineer's mentality to carefully laying out a detailed design for a bioregional utopia. One should not be put off by the 60's era hippie writing style and mixture of some eastern obscurities. The illustrations by Aschawnden are also excellent. This book is provocative and well worth reading. I'm glad it is back in print!
