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.

5 out of 5 stars Great Story Publication!   November 2, 2008
joyful (Nevada City, CA United States)
This is a great resource for country living. We bought it for our son-in-law and then ordered another one for ourselves. And we live on the same property! But this is one worth having close at hand.

Jo Leslie Hellriegel (Wellborn, FL)
This is a very thorough and concise book. Everything that I want to know about butchering chickens, building a rock wall, and cleaning squirrel was in there. It is wonderful.


5 out of 5 stars Great   September 30, 2008
Tiffany K. Schaltenbrand
This book has a little bit of everything. I am young and trying to start off on my own in the country. I refer to this book often. Great gardening section and animal tips.Use this as one of your main reference materials.


4 out of 5 stars Tons of information, but layout is a little awkward   September 30, 2008
Dude
There is an insane amount of valuable information in this book, the only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars is that I think the layout could be better (this is a gigantic book made out of recycled paper with a softcover, which makes it very floppy). Otherwise this is a great thing to have in the house, although I'd suggest getting When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance and Planetary Survival as well.


5 out of 5 stars Learn to be on your own   September 19, 2008
S. Ridlon (Littleton, Co.)
This book has everything you need to know on how to survive on a farm. Do it yourself type of information. Helps out a lot to see and do things that don't come from a store. A healthy way of life and understanding.
