The Encyclopedia Of Country Living, 40th Anniversary Edition

Great big book loaded with information on "Country Living" (what I guess you would call homesteading or farm living). At first my husband was disappointed by the table of contents, but we quickly learned that each chapter had its own detailed table of contents which made finding things very easy. There are no photographs in the book but there is an abundance of sketches which are helpful . It reminds me of my mother's old whole Earth catalog. I'm ready to go get some chickens :-)

Work of love & experience hence superb read.Good for house, farm buying and contains all the basic knowledge we are loosing due to supermarkets and fridges.

I really enjoy dipping into this book. You need to be prepared that it isn't about a showplace country house but has a lot of really interesting and basic ways to live a more simple life. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has a real interest in reducing the toll on the earth and is prepared to let go of some of life's luxuries.

go back to reference this book all the time

Love it, everything you need to know and then some.
