    I love Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living. I don't have Country Wisdom & Know How, so I don't know if any of the info would be repeat, but I just love reading her.
    Debt is a four letter word!

    I have several Storey leaflet type publications, a very dog-eared copy of The Healthy Garden Handbook from Mother Earth News, and another very dog-eared copy of Make Your Own Groceries.

    I just bought a copy of the Reader's Digest Back to Basics book from Amazon with a gift card I received. Haven't read through it yet.

    I live in the 'burbs, but long to live in the country.
