Carla Emery started writing The Encyclopedia of Country Living in 1969 during the back-to-the-land movement of that time.

It is the original manual of basic country skills that have proved essential and necessary for people living in the country and the city, and everywhere in between.

Emery's personal advice, reflections, and anecdotes ensure that this incredibly detailed, diverse reference is as enjoyable as it is useful.

Great resource for old time skills
Great book for the skills that used to be common knowledge. Most readers will find some information that they already knew, but a lot more that they didn't. This book covers a vast array of homestead-based topics including livestock care, gardening, cooking, sheds, etc.,etc. I have a copy of my own and have purchased copies as gifts for others in my family. I wish every book I bought would be as useful as this book! I refer to it often with question of my own and for others. There's so much information in this book that I find something new every time I open it. I highly recommend this book!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
