Family Care
Cottage Economy, to Which is Added The Poor Man's Friend
William Cobbett
310 pages~6 hr 11 min read52 chapters$1.99
Brewing beer at home, Cobbett insists, is a duty; buying it is a surrender. His famous handbook for laboring families covers bread, beer, pigs, cows, bees and the whole economy of an independent cottage, delivered in the most combative prose ever aimed at a kitchen. Includes The Poor Man's Friend. Self-sufficiency with its sleeves rolled up.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
