Okay, so I'm Exaggerating a bit. But not much. There is SO much information here, you'l never get to it all. It's a country cook book, a book on bee keeping, book a DIY house / cabin construction, vegetable gardening, raising fowl, keeping / training pets, prepaid medicinal herbs, basket weaving, soap making, etc. etc. etc. The list is endless.
As I Understand it, this is Basically the compilation of Hundreds of books / newsletters published as a series hippy-By Some farmers back in the 1970s. Purpose do not be turned off by this, the knowledge is timeless and not dated in the least.
It's printed in newsprint in an oversized screen (like a Sunday paper), with loads of visual diagrams and written with very clear, easy too read - Often humorous and - instructions.
Think 'Cook's Illustrated' goal for homesteading.
Highly recommended if you're a beginner year, expert or even, homesteader. Will definitely be ordering more as gifts around Christmas time.
