The Simple Living Guide in 1997 and it continues to be a great source of information and inspiration on living simply. It's weighty and costs around $25.00 new at my local Barnes & Noble, but
alibris.com has used copies for around $9.00 and
new copies for around $14.00. Visit a copy at the library, see if you don't think it's worth having as reference on your shelf.
Her
website is pretty, and provides various aspects of her longstanding, famous
Simple Living newsletter as well as the offer of free tips into your inbox, daily. The
newsletter is not free, it costs $3.00/month; however, it has quite a large following and is well-known for its quality of content. You have the option of subscribing to online or print editions.
Who is Janet Luhrs? Random House describes her:

Her quarterly newsletter, which has been called "the nation's premier newsletter on voluntary simplicity" (Boston Globe), as well as her own personal simplifying journey have been featured in U.S. News & World Report, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and on Donahue. A regular guest on NPR, she lives with her two children in Seattle, Washington."
