No home, whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between, should be without this one-of-a-kind 928-page encyclopedia. For more than 30 years, people have relied on Carla Emery's practical, step-by-step advice on basic self-sufficiency skills such as how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, build a chicken coop, cook on a wood stove, and much, much more.

This updated 10th edition includes expanded and updated mail-order information, including e-mail addresses and Web sites, while adding more of Emery's personal advice, reflections, and anecdotes to ensure that this incredibly detailed, diverse book is as enjoyable as it is useful.
