The Squatters Handbook has been published by the Advisory Service for Squatters in London since 1976. It is now in its fifteenth edition and provides over a hundred pages of detailed legal and practical information about squatting and homelessness in England and Wales. Be aware that the law is different in Scotland and Northern Ireland and that the info in the handbook won’t apply there.
We put out the 15th edition of the handbook in October 2024. It has been almost entirely rewritten since the previous edition to reflect changes in the law and contains more information than ever.
It costs £5 but a reduced price is available for people who are squatting or otherwise homeless. Distributor/ bookshop rates are available.
If you’re in London, come into the office to pick them up. Otherwise, copies can be ordered online from freedom bookshop, with other bookshops and distributors to follow.
