Book Recommendation: Basic Country Skills

This is a great reference for those living in the country-- even old hands. John and Martha Storrey's Basic Country Skills is an invaluable reference. It would also have a value to suburbanites who want to do more with their outdoor spaces (gardening) and want recipes and ideas on canning. I own this book in my personal home reference library.
Some of the more useful topics include:
- Home selection and maintenance
- Gardening
- Farming
- Food preparation and storage
- Tools
I highly recommend owning it, but I have seen it at the public library as well. It is a powerful resource for those seeking a more self reliant life.
Thank you for visiting the Self Reliance Workshop and come back soon for more . . . follow me on Twitter at SelfRelianceWS, LowProfileLife, DvrcdDadFrglDad, and Surfcasting2Day.
