 Written on August 7, 2006 Summary: A Wealth of Knowledge I picked this book up based on an exhaustive search for a guide that met a few simple items of criteria: 1. Straightforward presentation that was easy to understand. 2. Filled with a great depth of knowledge. 3. Something I could use immediately, and continue to learn from. Storey's Basic Country Skills nailed each item on my list. When I received the book and flipped through it casually I was able to spot a number of answers and projects for needs I have right now. Beyond that I also found many that gave answers to future needs that I knew I have, but didn't have time to research. I am certain that this book will be well worn within my household as we continue to develop the land around our home.  Written on February 21, 2006 Summary: Many Topics, Little Detail This book had many topics but only provided very basic information on the topics. Written on February 21, 2006 Summary: Storey's Basic Country Skills Good book to put the subject on the map for the beginner. Written on August 25, 2005 Summary: A little bit of EVERYTHING! If you are looking for one book to serve as a comprehensive guide to nearly every aspect of living in the country and fending for yourself, then you atleast owe it to yourself to browse through this book atleast once; at a minimum, you should borrow it from the library for a peek. This book takes you from start to finish; dawn to dusk; season to season. It may not be as detailed in some areas as you may prefer but you can always find a book dedicated to areas in which you require more information. As a general resource, this book won't be perched on your bookshelf long enough to collect dust since you'll be picking it up on a regular basis. Written on April 18, 2005 Summary: My favorite resource for homesteading This has been such a great help. It gave me lots of ideas for things I want to do, and gives me encouragement for what I am currently trying. I like the simple illustrations. All I would like more in this book is ... more. It's a great book to get started trying different things, although I do find other books with more detail after I get started. For example, making soap - great practical first-timer information in this book. Once I tried it, I went to the library and found more detailed books on soapmaking. But the Storey book is my best starter. |
