Review Quotes: --Outdoor Happens "For the suburbanite with just enough space for a little garden to the die-hard homesteaders and everyone in between, The Encyclopedia of Country Living makes for both fascinating reading and a truly essential reference source. You won't find a more complete source of step-by-step information about growing, processing, cooking and preserving every kind of food--from the garden, the orchard, the field or the barnyard!" Rodale Book Club "If you're dreaming about moving "back to the land" someday, or if you're already there and want to live more self-sufficiently, you'll want a copy of ... T he Encyclopedia of Country Living." Organic Gardening "This book is a monument to the coevolution of a person and an idea. . . this book should be shelved in your collection between the Foxfire books and Alicia Bay Laurel's Living on Earth." Whole Earth catalog "Packed with old wisdom as well as up-to-date websites and mail-order sources to make country living easier." Country Almanac "As one astonished browser acclaimed, 'Is there anything this book doesn't tell you how to do?'" Library Journal "If you're thinking about ditching the city and reconnecting with a simpler, more direct way of life . . . The Encyclopedia covers a wealth of information to keep you on target." Lehman's Country Living "If I could only have one comprehensive how-to book on self-reliant living, this would be it." Backwoods Home Magazine "The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery is one of my favorite finds. It is a guide to all things country..." The Jefferson County Post "While it is impossible for one book to have everything you need, 'The Encyclopedia of Country Living' does an exceptional job of giving you the most bang for your buck when it comes to needing a single resource where you are likely to find the answer to your country living questions." Outdoor Self Reliance "Practical advice, invaluable information, and collected wisdom for folks and farmers in the country, city, and anywhere in between." Territorial Seed catalog Biographical Note: Carla Emery lived on a farm in Idaho for more than thirty years as a wife, mother of seven, home-schooler, goat-keeper, garden-grower, writer, and country-living instructor. She wrote and self-published the first editions of The Encyclopedia of Country Living during the early 1970s and also ran her "School of Country Living." Carla sold nearly 90,000 copies of her self-published editions, traveling the country to promote it and appearing on such shows as The Mike Douglas Show, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, The Phil Donahue Show, and Good Morning America, where she demonstrated country-living skills such as goat-milking, bread-making, and butter-churning. When Sasquatch Books published the 9th Edition of Encyclopedia in 1994, Carla continued to travel the country promoting and selling the book, and teaching the timeless skills of country living. Carla cultivated a large and loyal following across the country. Carla passed away in 2005.
