Which Scott and Helen Nearing book?
There appears to be three books with similar names so I am confused on which one to get?

The Good Life:
http://www.amazon.com/Good-Life-Scot..._bxgy_b_text_b

The Good Life of Helen K. Nearing
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

Loving and Leaving the Good Life:
http://www.amazon.com/Loving-Leaving..._bxgy_b_text_b

I believe you can find "The Good Life" and "Loving and Leaving the Good Life" both in one large book. May be the cheaper way to go. I've read and enjoyed them all.

The Good Life would be about when they were in Vermont.

Then next would be Continuing the Good Life when they were in Maine.

This link is the compliation of the two Nearing books Vicki pointed out: The Good life - VT homestead from 1930s-50s and Continuing the good life - ME homestead from 1950s on

Both are amazing books and I will probably never stop re-reading them. Im gonna take a trip up to the Good life center next summer too!

"The Good Life" is "Living the Good Life" and "Continuing the Good Life" both in one volume. I have it and would highly recommend it.
