I am sure anyone who is on this forum has heard of Carla Emery or better yet, already has this book. This is the newest one. I bought it to replace my old worn out one that fell apart. I relied on it constantly. I cannot tell you how many answers I found in these pages. Now that I have moved on and left that life behind, I feel this book needs a new home and someone who will be using it until it falls apart too.
This copy is in new condition. I am selling it for $20.00 which will include the shipping costs. It is a very heavy book and I think the shipping is around five bucks or so, Media Mail. So just let me know if you want it sent Priority Mail, and I can let you know the price, but you will have to pay for that. I accept Paypal or a money order sent to me.
An original manual of basic country skills that is suitable for people living in the country, the city and everywhere in between. It contains practical advice on how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, cook on a wood stove, over 2000 recipes, and more.Carla Emery started writing The Encyclopedia of Country Living in 1969 during the back-to-the-land movement of that time. She continued to add content and refine the information over the years, and the book went from a self-published mimeographed document to a book of 928 pages. This 40th Anniversary Edition reflects the most up-to-date resource information and the most personal version of the book that became Carla Emery's 39th version of her life work.
