Summary: Cohousing in a box!
Review: Chris Hanson has laid out for the reader a step by step guide to starting your own cohousing community. A must have for any cohouser, but definately not the first book you want to read to learn about the cohousing way of life. Durant and McCammant's excellent book fills that roll, just as this book fills it's intended role. If you are contemplating starting or joining an existing group, buy this book. It will guide you through the process step by step. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, so we may as well learn from those who have paved that road for us!
