For twenty years people have relied on these hundreds of recipes, instructions, and morsels of invaluable practical advice on all aspects of growing and preparing food. This definitive classic on food, gardening, and self-sufficient living is a complete resource for living off the land with over 800 pages of collected wisdom from country maven, Carla Emery--how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, catch a pig, make soap, work with bees and more. Encyclopedia of Country Living is so basic, so thorough, so reliable, it deserves a place in every home--whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between.

Der Autor über sein Buch
Hi to My Readers from Carla!
What a privilege and joy it is to have authored a book read by more than 400,000 persons. For 25 years, I've collected information about family food production and related rural subjects. It feels good at this stage of my life to know that work was well done. My life is now a perpetual speaking tour, helping folks understand what's coming, "How to prepare for Y2K." (I hope for lecture invites also from overseas.) Everywhere I go, I meet old friends whom I've never personally met before. These folks have enjoyed and relied on the how-to-do-it information in the Encyclopedia of Country Living for years. Their beat-up old books tell a beautiful story of hard work and dedication.. Sometimes I've felt foolish for insisting on telling readers things like how to save seeds and how to grow their own feed for farm animals. At times, I've been scorned and berated for trying to keep oldtime skills alive. But as Y2K approaches, inexorably as the clock ticks, this information is becoming mainstream again. I love you, dear readers. You have been a beautiful thing in my life, too. God be with you in the coming years. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Writing a review of this book seems tobe waste considering all the praise that has already been lavished on it, but I just wanted to add my two cents worth. The book is everything it saids it is, an encyclopedia of a simpler lifestyle.. (NOTE: A country/rural lifestyle is simple, it is NOT easy! ) Almost all aspects of country living are covered here with short "fun" quizes to test yourself interspersed here and there. An added bonus is that Ms. Emery "forgets" she is writing a "how-to" book and gives the reader some really beautiful writing. This is a book that truly offers something for almost everyone.....

Review of "The Encyclopedia of Country Living; An Old Fashioned Recipe Book" by Carla Emery.
I just can't believe this book. Well written, lots of good useful information, and a TERRIBLE printing job. As someone who works in the printing/publishing business, I find this unacceptable. The problem begins with the paper - dull, low-contrast newsprint that makes reading painful. The cheap paper is so fragile that my book was warped when I received it, and it's hard to turn the pages without tearing them. The binding is equally poor quality. If this were a mass-market paperback that you read once and then throw away, it might be forgiveable. But this is a reference book that most readers will want to keep for years - I find it difficult to believe that this book can least even a few weeks under normal use.
It's such a pity to see Ms Emery's fine work ruined by a bad printer. I would have given this book a five-out-of-five star rating if the printing had been at least mediocre, but now I can only give it three stars. I urge the author to visit a good bookstore or library and browse the selection of reference books and see what a GOOD printing job looks like. And after that, I suggest she finds a new printer.

An earlier edition of this book was the only book my husband and I had in common when we met each other more than a decade ago. It certainly boded well for our relationship!
No matter what is going on on the homestead, I can turn to this book and find out whatever it is I need to know. I learned to make bread from this book. I learned to make soap from this book. Last year I tried out some pickle recipes. Ages ago I learned all about hog butchering and when I finally helped with one, well, I knew what to do.
But not only is this book thorough and detailed, it is warm and human. I always check out the new editions to find out what is new in the Carla saga.
