Squatting: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide for Understanding Why, How, And Where People Squat (Anarchy, Socialism, Homesteading) Paperback – July 22, 2015

I've never read something quite as fascinating in real life as this one. I say real life, because I know people that have squatted, dumpster dived, and have escaped the tyranny of paying rent. This is a fabulous look into that, and it's an easy to read guide about something that is very interesting. It's a guide, but not a dictionary volume of sorts. The book is written with the beginner in mind, and it flows through various areas of how it might be to squat, in empty homes, apartment complexes, and much more. It's truly something that will make you think about possibly jumping into this world. If I were single, I'd do it. But that's just me. If you're curious about squatting or living under the radar in general, this is a guide to get you started. Solid writing, easy to pick up and follow, this is a good book.

This could have been a ten page pamphlet. The print is large and there is multiple places where a single paragraph is placed on a page leaving tons of white space. This book is obviously engineered to bring up page count to justify price. "ultimate guide" haha, that seems to be the buzz word of this author(don't feel like look at his/her name and the author should be glad I was nice enough to even refer to them as an author) because all the books have that as the tag line. You're better off saving your money and just checking out Wikipedia. My fiancée agreed after she read it(in ten minutes) and I quote"I feel like the Wikipedia article would be more lengthy then this. "

I bought this for a friend who said it was "useless", because it didn't give enough information anywhere. Maybe the "why" was answered somewhat, but the "how" and "where" we're not. It was more like a coffee table book than a reference book.

excellent read

This book is pretty useless, I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it really. I know it says "beginners guide" but I didn't realise quite how basic this book is - it's just like a crappy PDF printed off the internet in book form. No decent publisher would print this.
