The Encyclopedia of Country Living No home, whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between, should be without this one-of-a-kind encyclopedia. For more than 30 years, people have relied on Carla Emery's practical, step-by-step advice on basic self-sufficiency skills such as how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, build a chicken coop, cook on a wood stove, and much, much more. This updated 10th edition includes expanded and updated mail-order information, including e-mail addresses and Web sites, while adding more of Emery's personal advice, reflections, and anecdotes to ensure that this incredibly detailed, diverse book is as enjoyable as it is useful.

The seed for this project was planted way back in 1977. That's when we published Juggling for the Complete Klutz®, our first effort to teach a skill essential to something we thought was a very important part of living right - never growing up. We never did. And now we've written the ultimate how-not-to guide. The Encyclopedia of Immaturity contains more than 300 entries: How to Skip a Stone, How to Do a Wheelie, How to Hang a Spoon from Your Nose, How to Really Annoy Your Older Sibling... all painstakingly explicated and illuminated with full-color photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and the occasional footnote. Written by the editors of Klutz.
