About This Item
Pleasantville, NY: The Reader's Digest Association, 1983. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight/no DJ. oversized 8vo, 456pp. from "About This Book" : Back to Basics is a book about ther simple life. It is about old-fashioned ways of doing things, and old-fashioned craftsmanship, and old-fashioned food, and old-fashioned fun. It is also about independence--the kind of down-home self-reliance that our grandparents and great grandparents took for granted, but that we moderns often think has vanished forever, along with supermarket tomatoes that taste good, packaged bread that does not have additives, and holidays that are not commercialized.. At its heart Back to Basics is a how-to book packed with hundreds of projects, step-by-step sequences, charts, tables, diagrams, and illustrations to help you and your family reestablish control over your day-to-day lives. The book is organized into six main sections. The first deals with shelter, the second with energy, the third with raising food, the fourth with preserving food, the fifth with home crafts, and the sixth with recreation." #01952 OVERSIZED: EXTRA S/H.
