this is a rarity among books about the childfree in that it's written by and for australians. while it suffers a little from being self-published - in format and style (nothing a good editor couldn't fix) - it's remarkably comprehensive and well-researched. unfortunately the research and statistics are now a decade old, so a revised edition would be very welcome. overall it's a rational and refreshing book - particularly for those of us who are tired of being asked 'why' or being told how 'selfish' we are.
