Cohousing-L Mailing List: David Wann's book great for newbies to cohousing

[Marty Maskall (mmaskall]

I just finished David Wann's new book, Reinventing Community:  Stories from the 
Walkways of Cohousing.  As a newbie to cohousing (we're still looking for 
land), I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning what cohousing 
is like.  Short of actually living in a community, I can't imagine a better way 
to get an idea of what to expect.  The book is well-written and the stories are 
great bedtime reading.  I particularly enjoyed reading stories by people I had 
met through my cohousing travels (Rick Mockler, Joani Blank, & Liz Stevenson).  
Liz's wonderful article on Cooking for Fifty should be required reading for all 
new cohousing cooks -- it's entertaining and very helpful.  Kudos to David for 
a great job.  The book is available from www.Amazon.com or in bookstores.
