I purchased this book for my brother who lost his 1st edition book. This book is nearly identical in the material displayed in the 1st edition. Awesome book! It shows just about everything a person would want to know about being self sufficient - home building, building anything from bee hives to solar cookers, to making wine and mead, etc. I'm very pleased to have acquired this for my bro!
Valuable information.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book provides an excellent foundation for anyone interested in discovering how folks survived in the days before power tools and kitchen appliances. It provides detailed instructions and ample illustrations to help the reader better understand traditional living techniques. A must buy for anyone interested in the old timers' ways.
I've had on of these books for years and pull it out to read on a regular basis. I don't live in the country but it doesn't matter the wealth of information is useful in any home, and really fun to read. It's my favorite book of alltime. Kevinbear
