    Great Book

    My mom had this book when I was growing up. I found it to be a good book then, so I looked for it and found it and ordered if. It has a lot of ways to do things that our grandparents used to do. When you want to learn how to make candles or dehydrate food, this book will show you. Shipped very quickly

  • Awesome Book

    Great book full of excellent information. Lots of detail and beautiful illustrations. Product shipped exactly as described. Was in excellent condition for a 40 year old book. Still has the reader’s digest mail-in ads in it!

  • Best resource for beginning or experienced people that are interested in being self reliant!

    This book is a family favorite. I have purchased at least three of them for my sons and now my nephew. It is perfect for anyone that wants to learn basic skills that have been lost because of the ease of modern day life. You never know when you are going to need them! My sons prefer this edition to the revised edition. It should be reprinted!

  • Back to Basics

    I gave my book to a friend so I had to make sure I got myself another one. A great book to have in your library. Essential skills for living like people did back 100 yrs ago when there wasn't any electricity or big chain grocery stores. I took a picture of the table of contents so you can get an idea of what this book contains.
