• Jan. 16, 2006 - The Encyclopedia of Country Living

Posted in Book Reviews
I have seen this book mentioned several times on other blogs so figured I would checked it out from the library.  We already owned the Reader's Digest's "Back to the Basics" and thought it covered pretty much everything, but I was wrong.  "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" is AWESOME.  She has about every topic I could think of, plus hundreds more.  This book is chock full of information, recipes, resources..you name it!  I am going to wait until the 10th edition comes out because she has more to add about strawberries!!!!  But this book is a must have for any beginning and serious homesteader!  and of course AMAZON carries it!

Just a note "Back to the Basics" is different and still a good resource to have on hand.  In my opinion, BTB is great for my husband and TEOCL is perfect for me!

I am really looking forward to getting my own copy of this book as well. Alas there will be no more editions forthcoming from Carla herself, as sadly she passed away in October 2005. She seemed like such a wonderful woman, a fantastic teacher/mentor...she'll be missed no doubt!

another great book is storey's basic country skills. it's along the lines of carla's book but has a wealth of information that she doesn't cover (if you can believe that!)

I refer to my "encyclopedia" at least a couple of times a week! Love it!
