There are some classic reference books that no country home should be without. I would put the Encyclopedia of Country Living near the top of that list. Written in the 1960's this book covers the nuts and bolts of doing it yourself. Growing food, chopping wood, fixing household items, making cheese and even birthing babies (human and animal!) are covered in clear step-by-step directions. Some of the recipes and procedures may not conform to modern requirements (for example, burying your own dead), but for practicality and comprehensiveness you really can't beat this book. Check out this blog, based on the book:
