Country Wisdom & Know-How
Black Dog/Leventhal

More than 30 years ago, the Country Wisdom Bulletin began as a series of 32-page booklets offering practical, hands-on advice for getting back to basics in a mind-boggling assortment of activities, including raising rabbits, attracting hummingbirds, concocting elixirs and home remedies, building a stone wall, making candles and crafting a chicken coop. Now collected into one oversized, 480-page volume with nearly 1,900 hand-drawn illustrations covering nearly 200 different topics, these detailed tutorials transport you to the "back-to-the-land" movement of the 1970s, when people from many walks of life were eager to learn how to do more for themselves. And like all wisdom that stands the test of time, the advice remains solid today, especially if you’d like to know how to build your own doghouse, learn beekeeping, keep your basement dry or buy a good horse.
