Product Description
Reminiscent in both spirit and design of the beloved Whole Earth Catalog, Country Wisdom & Know-How is an unprecedented collection of information on nearly 200 individual topics of country and self-sustained living. Compiled from the information in Storey Publishing's landmark series of "Country Wisdom Bulletins," this book is the most thorough and reliable volume of its kind. Organized by general topic including animals, cooking, crafts, gardening, health and well-being, and home, it is further broken down to cover dozens of specifics from "Building Chicken Coops" to "Making Cheese, Butter, and Yogurt" to "Improving Your Soil" to "Restoring Hardwood Floors." Nearly 1,000 black-and-white illustrations and photographs run throughout and fascinating projects and trusted advice crowd every page.

Excellent reference,

This review is from: Country Wisdom & Know-How: Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land (Paperback)
I bought this book solely based on the product description. I am extremely impressed with the content, it has step-by-step instructions of how to do pretty much everything. From bee-keeping to butchering pigs, how to dry herbs and recipes to use them in, this book has something for everyone. The biggest problem I have is the physical size of the book. It is 13x10in and since it is softcover, this makes it somewhat awkward to handle. I would buy a second copy if I could get it in hardcover.

What an AWESOME book !!! There's so much good information pertaining to gardening, growing & cooking with vegetables & herbs, herbal remedies, animal care and even how to build your own chicken coop. Even a section on crafts. I'm sure I'll get years of benefit from this book. I've also given 3 copies to family & friends and they were thrilled to receive it.

This review is from: Country Wisdom & Know-How: Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land (Paperback)
This book is for sure a storehouse of wisdom and know-how and a very interesting read, but it doesn't really make an attractive coffee table book and given that it's the size of one, that's a problem. It is very large - a fact I didn't pick up on when I ordered it. Also, take note that it's softcover. There are a lot of typo's throughout and, I believe, some misprints. One of the recipes I made had obviously misprinted the amount of one ingredient and had I not picked up on that, it would have ended up fed to the dog!
