Storey's Basic Country Skills:
A Practical Guide to Self-Reliance
by John Storey
At 576 pages, this book is an encyclopedia of real country living with articles on the home and all important systems, basic home improvements, gardening, animal husbandry, landscaping, greenhouses and outbuildings... even cooking!
But this book is not just a manual. It is an inspirational and supportive work to give you the basic tools upon which to build your own "country style". In the author's words, "Developing these skills is invaluable, but even more important is having an attitude of confidence that you can solve your problems and learn from your mistakes."
