The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques24 reviews
Margaret Radcliffe

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2008

Gorgeous book with incredible technique and design ideas
I have bought many knitting books over the years. This one is really my favorite. It explains color theory and how to use color in knitting, but it also teaches a lot of tips and tricks about knitting with color. And she teaches concepts that you can use in all your knitting without obvious instructional steps. From modular knitting to reversible scarves, I cords i color to a knitted bag, ...

The Knitting Answer Book: Solutions to Every Problem You'll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question You'll Ever ...126 reviews
Margaret Radcliffe

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2005

Good "All Purpose" Knitting Book
This book really does have most if not all the answers to the questions you might have as you learn how to knit. It was hard to get used to finding things in the question and answer format - but now I'm used to it, and it's like any other book. No question is a dumb question, and the author takes the time to answer each one.

You need this if you want to put the June-Cleaver-Smack-Down on all the other moms in your child's class!!
Have you arrived unshowered and unshaven in your sweats to pick your kid up from school? Did the last field trip fall on the day when you ran out of clean laundry? Use this book to get your dignity back. Or, you can just be the envy of this year's Suburban-Biatch-Cookie-Exchange party. This is a fantastic buy if you like to make decorated cookies. I purchased this because I have had very ...

Rebecca Yaker, Patricia Hoskins

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

The book is divided into 11 chapters: Sewing Fundamentals, Dwell Redux, Household Affairs, Craft Organization, On the Go, From Head to Toe, Carry it All, Outfit your Small Wonder, Accessorize your Little One, Playtime and your Furry Friends. There is also an envelope ... 		  
  







  
  
The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (10th Anniversary Edition)99 reviews

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

Excellent Ideas For Experienced and/or Not-So-Expert Gardeners
This is an excellent reference book for me. I refer to it often and I have a HUGE library of gardening books. I'm a not-so-experienced, but very "creative" and daring gardener. I like to challenge the rules and make things grow in months when they would traditionally not grow. The idea of raised beds intrigued me and was worth the price of the book. I learned about cold frames and found ... 		  
  







  
  
Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens: Care / Feeding / Facilities77 reviews
Gail Damerow

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1995

Comprehensive guide to raising chickens
They really should change the title to "Storey's Comprehensive Guide to Raising Chickens." I read several books on raising chickens before I purchased a single chick and this one was the most comprehensive and covered everything you need to know to raise chickens for meat, eggs or to show. 		  
  







  
  
The Backyard Homestead: Produce all the food you need on just a quarter acre!34 reviews

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

Dream Book Made Easy
I wanted this book from the first moment I looked thru it online. When I finally was able to buy it - it was not a disappointment. It is as smooth and as bright as the cover and the other illustrations. Only if our American school system was as simplistically laid out as this little gem. The overviews are fabulous and they don't keep "secret" where to find the additional information. Which ... 		  
  







  
  
Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables50 reviews
Mike Bubel, Nancy Bubel

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1991

Important
Keep in mind that a root cellar is of litle use in the south. Down here they are called storm cellars. May be good for storing potatoes or onions, not much else.

Alexandra Nimetz, Jason Stanley, ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

Great find
This book was perfect! I bought this for my daughter who was heading off to her first apt. and graduate school. The lists for setting up her kitchen were very helpful--pots and pans, cooking utensils, fridge basics, pantry items, spices, etc. She also found lots of recipes that she marked to try. 		  
  







  
  
Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening54 reviews
Louise Riotte

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1998

It's Good To Know These Things
I planted my first crop in my new greenhouse and now I have all sorts of vegetables growing. It found it comforting to have a guide about what vegetables should or should NOT be planted close to each other. As usual, I was doing too much, and my brain is overwhelmed with all there is to learn, but it doesn't matter. The vegetables are growing and they are doing really well. Even if I don't ...

Let it Rot!: The Gardener's Guide to Composting (Third Edition) (Storey's Down-to-Earth Guides)27 reviews
Stu Campbell

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1998

Easy to Read and Informative
This book provided excellent background information as well as tips to get compost started. Scientific information was provided, but it was written so that anyone with a high school education could understand. I have started my composter (garbage can with holes drilled in it) and am looking forward to see how this experiment turns out.

Compost finally explained
I have had compost issues for years. I have made every mistake possible and now I understand why. I was making composting much more difficult than it really is. Before you buy a composter, buy this book. You will understand what works and what doesn't. You really don't need a $300 compost bin to have great compost. 		  
  







  
  
Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks90 reviews
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2006

The Yarn Harlot rocks!
This book is chock-full of tips and techniques for those who already have shelves of pattern books, but there are enough patterns included to keep everyone happy. I consider the Basic Sock Pattern reason enough to keep this book around, but there's lots more. Definitely a keeper, and I'll be buying more from Stephanie Pearl McPhee.

Tasting Beer: An Insider's Guide to the World's Greatest Drink7 reviews
Randy Mosher

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

An Excellent Introduction to the World of Beer
Randy Mosher has been well-known in serious beer and homebrewing circles for years. His earlier book, Radical Brewing, is a classic for anyone interested in brewing and a wondrous font of cool recipes for beers to brew at home. Tasting Beer is a much more approachable work, aimed more at the general audience of beer drinkers out there than at us "beer geeks". It provides a broad overview of ...

I have been using several of Rosemary's herbal recipes and have wanted to buy her book for some time now. She has some wonderful recipes for skincare that I love making.

Home Sausage Making : How-To Techniques for Making and Enjoying 100 Sausages at Home22 reviews
Susan Mahnke Peery, Charles G. Reavis

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2003

Great for the beginner.
This book came with a sausage making/stuffing kit I purchased from Lem Products. (5 lb stuffer kit.) It gives you just enough information to get started safely, without overwhelming you with all of the details and nice-to-know stuff you can learn later when you find yourself addicted to sausage making. I have made several of the recipes and they turned out great! While this book is not the ... 		  
  







  
  
2-at-a-Time Socks: Revealed Inside. . . The Secret of Knitting Two at Once on One Circular Needle Works for ...79 reviews
Melissa Morgan-Oakes

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007

Book delievers exactly what it says! Thank you!
This book is really wonderful. It's written in a style that is like a girlfriend chatting with you. The description of how-to is clear and concise. Other reviews complained that the technique only takes up a few pages, but frankly, it doesn't need any more than that! Great book! I bought the book specifically as a reference for the knitting technique...and it was a good purchase!
