How to Buy Land
by Sam Bain
half sized / 28 pages
How to Buy Land features
a wealth of personal insight from the author, who has purchased a five acre
parcel in the rural Northwest. This zine opens with philosophical musings about
homesteading, and then considers reasons not to buy land or how to find
alternatives to buying land. There is an excellent section on how to find land.
Sam Bain’s zine is not quite as comprehensive as I had hoped but there’s only
so much territory (lame pun intended) that can be distilled into 28 pages.
Returning to the land and creating roots and community might be the one sane
option left to participating in this destructive culture. One needs the tools
and know-how to work within (or without) the economic systems involved. More
specific information on mortgages and how to obtain one (even with bad or no
credit) would have been helpful, yet zines like How to Buy Land are authentic and honest and come from direct
experience.
