"The first
well-researched, fully illustrated coffee table squatting book...a

Undercurrents, April 1981 "...an invaluable source book...its design is a joy to look at and the illustrations are sharp and to the point." Rodney Mace, Morning Star, 2 January 1981 "..a really super book on one of the truly moving issues of our time.... well written and brilliantly produced." Gair Rhydd, 14 January 1981 "This excellent and thoroughly research book...should be in every housing department in the land." Brian Lake, Architects’ Journal, 18 February 1981 "The many facets of squatting...are brilliantly evoked both in the text and the numerous well chosen illustrations.... the book is designed with great flair and imagination and has been beautifully produced."
