Love this book!

I love this book! It is a great reference book and will tell you anything you need to know about doing things the old fashioned way. I love the little stories between the info. There is a great index and topics are very easy to find. The receipes are great and if the book doesn't have the info that you are looking for, most likely there is a web site listed, or an address listed to the correct government agency to get you what you need. I have had this book for about a year and keep it handy, it's like the Western Garden book, but for every thing to do with living in the country. I purchased this book recently for a gift and my friend loves it and raves about it almost as much as I do.

Encyclopedia of Country Living

This book is just a classic! I owned a copy of it almost 20 years ago, & it disappeared during a major move. I read that copy so much I felt as if the author were almost related to me or something. I enjoyed her writing style, her family anecdotes, & the feeling that this information was possibly disappearing into time. With this new copy, that feeling almost returned, as even though I am a confirmed city liver, I still love her style & just reading about a way of life that I can't even imagine. She has a tremendous amount of information to share, a lot of it learned on her own, & if you don't enjoy her family asides, just skip them, but they added to the realism of the book for me. I also enjoyed reading the updates about her life since I last read an earlier edition of her book. Carla Emery knows her stuff, & covers it thoroughly.

Epic Reference!

If you are looking for a book that will cover all your bases, this is it. Obviously it can be supplemented with other specific books, but if you are looking for an excellent reference book to any question you've ever had, this is the book for you.

THE country living bible!

I found my first copy of this book in 1977. I had a newborn son and a desire to live in a remote location. As I read it cover to cover many times, Carla became a dear friend.

This is my new and updated copy, but I still have the old version. Ths one has wonderful updates that she has made over the years. It is much more than recipes! It is full of all kinds of insights and instruction for country living and homesteading.

If I had to choose one book that changed my life, this one is it! I wish I had been able to meet Carla.
