[http://blog.utopia-britannica.org.uk/ Authors Blog ] In researching and writing the book, the author, Chris Coates, amassed a huge and unique collection of photos, stories and artefacts about this alternative approach to modern life… more than could fit in any book, but too good not to share.
So this blog has been put together as a way to give that collection a permanent home. The aim is to add new material every few weeks, to add to the stories in the book and to tell new ones.
