Synn Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Does anyone have Carla Emerys book the Encyclopedia of Country Living? I think the older editions were call The Old Fashioned Recipe Book. There is so much information packed into this book! I love it! Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Oh yeah Buttercup, I love my "Encyclopedia of Country Living" and don't know what I'd do without it. There is more information in there than I could ever absorb! Quote Link to comment

gardnmom Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 It is one of the most informative books I own..... Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 LOL I think I have 3 two old editions and a newer one. I have actually met her in real life and she spent the night in our home. She came to our town and did a presentation on Y2K. It was quite an honor. I call it my second Bible. Not trying to be sacreligious, that's just something I have always said. Quote Link to comment
HapyGirl Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yes, it's right here in my bookcase next to my computer Quote Link to comment
Deblyn Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have a copy of the 9th edition; a lot of it is not relevant to the UK, but it is till interesting reading. I was involved for a short time om a project for making the book publishable (?) in Europe, but it fell through, not my fault. The book Is OK, in my opinion, and interesting. I would like to see a similar thing aimed more at the UK market, though. This may be in the offing.............. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 I thought they were still in the process of rewriting the book for the UK. Using metric measures and things. I was trying to help Carla and a bunch of numerous people work on the new edtion. Until I had my phone service shut off. That was last summer. I will have to email Carla and ask her if it's still in the works. Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 10th edition is in the works. Lowie, I will ask Carla on Saturday about the UK edition and what happened. I am going to buy another book even though I have it and really want the 10th edition. I will give the new one to a friend for Christmas. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 I am really looking forward to the new edition also westbrook. Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 due the the fire and being evacuated, it doesn't look like I will make Carla's visit tomorrow so I won't be able to ask her in person. If I am gone for awhile not to worry, I will be back. Once we leave we can't get back in. Sadly I can only take one load of goats with me. We are holding out for the last possible moment. I hate to have nothing happen and be locked out of my area to feed my goats, chickens and rabbits. Back out to continue packing up my most precious things. Quote Link to comment
gardnmom Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Westbrook, so sorry about the animals, I pray that the fire stays away from you... take care..... Quote Link to comment
