This comprehensive field guide to life shares Kaufmann Mercantile's collective expertise on 48 helpful life skills that range from essential know-how--from frying an egg to tying a tie to brewing coffee perfectly--to aspirational expertise--like splitting wood, building a fire, or shucking an oyster. Organized into five instructional sections, each prefaced by an expert, this handsome coffee table book includes original artwork that visually walks you through each "how-to" step. Browse these sumptuous pages to explore such topics as:
Supplemental sidebars feature the best tool for the job, whether it's top-quality rawhide-and-ash snowshoes, a dibber for planting, or flammable smoking bags for making authentic BBQ. Amusing, instructive, and endlessly entertaining, this is a well-considered collection of how-to's, perfect for anyone who wants to live a slow and thoughtful life or a gift for men or women who aspire to do so. |
