Permaculture: A Designers' Manual

Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature

Permaculture: A Designers' Manual by Bill Mollison is the cornerstone hardcover of sustainable living, often called the bible of permaculture design. This 1988 Tagari first edition arrives with its original dust jacket and hundreds of line drawings that make complex land-use concepts crystal clear.

Inside, 576 pages remain crisp and unmarked—no notes, no dog ears, no smoke odor—while the tight binding shows the book was respected on the shelf. Light foxing appears only on the first and last few leaves, a common vintage trait that does not obscure text or art.

Ideal for homesteaders, landscape planners, and ecology students, Mollison’s manual weaves gardening, agriculture, water management, and site analysis into a practical philosophy of working with nature. The illustrated chapters guide readers from balcony pots to broadacre farms, proving permaculture’s scale-free wisdom.

Collectors value this durable volume for both reference and display; its presence signals serious commitment to regenerative living. Secure the book that launched a global movement and let your own sustainable design journey begin.
