Treasured Book

This is one of my most useful books. I LOVE it! I remember when my son shot his first deer, I grabbed this book and my umbrella, as it was misting rain, and joined him in our field. I read to him step by step how to field dress the deer from my Encyclopedia of Country Living. It was a total success. Being a city girl and moving to the country after getting married, it was most helpful. I learned to garden, can vegetables, and raise goats and chickens with the help Carla's book. In the winter I enjoy just curling up under a warm blanket and reading this book. I recommend it to everyone, city or country!!!

Encyclopedia is truly Encyclopedic!

I have no intention of ever living in the country, or following in Ms. Emery's footsteps. I write historical fiction. Anytime that I need to know ANYTHING about the crafts and ways of rural life, I turn to "Encyclopedia of Country Living." The explanations are clear and to the point and the book and index are well organized, so that it is simple to find the information you need. This is an invaluable aid to anyone undertaking a rural life style and is equally useful to researchers like me.

Delina

This book was given to me by a dear freind almost 30 years ago. I loved it then and still refer to it now. Anytime I needed to know anything about "how to" I'd look here first. Carla tells you how to do almost anything, and if she doesn't know a lot about something, she seeks out others with more experience. I appreciate her honest approch in writing the book. She never claims to be an expert, but tells you what has worked for her. Her intent seems to be to pass along the knowledge that has taken years for her and her freinds to accumulate.
This was my bible while raising 5 boys. It even helped with their homework occasionally. I learned skills and saved money by doing things myself. I would highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to be more self sufficient and wants to know more about country living.

old fashion recipe book

I owned this book years ago, I remember seeing ms. Emery on a talk show promoting her book in an old car with kids and all. Over the years, and moving around I lost the book and now am planning to buy it again. I hope the new edition is as good or better. Living in the country again and on a very limited income,Im sure I will benefit again from the book, it was fun trying to find things of the land to try out and experiment ( to eat) It,s not a book for all, but if u know someone who is tired of the rat race and is going to survive as much as possible off the land and small scale farming and gardening this is the book for them.
