by Laurel Robertson, Carol Flinders, and Bronwen Godfrey.
A celebration of life and the many delicious, nutritionally good foods that are the basis for healthy, happy living. LAUREL'S KITCHEN wasn't written-but grew-out of years of experience in the kitchen of the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation. These folks' motivation for sharing what they know about food and cooking (and giving us a glimpse at the joy in which they live) is clear. They care about us. And know that through simple changes in the way we live and eat . . a vibrant state of being which pervades the mind and emotions as well as the body" can be ours.
Originally printed and bound entirely by the community. this book is now in its third printing. Complete with original woodcuts, its 500+ pages are full of recipes uniquely arranged by mealtime, as well as type of food. Homebaked breads are the most important part of the diet . . and they are treated with loving care to help you bake the tastiest, healthiest loaves ever. Vegetables are given special attention in a separate section where selection and preparation of each vegetable is discussed, and all the recipes have the ingredients listed separately for easy mealtime planning. As complete a section on nutrition as we've ever seen gently helps you learn all you need to know to prepare nourishing vegetarian fare for your family . . . even your dog! Yes, LAUREL'S KITCHEN is a gift . . . from forty folks who care, to anyone wise enough to share the energy and knowledge within this fine cookbook. 508 pages. Hard cover. 74003 $13.95

ILLUSTRATED HOUSEBUILDING by Graham Blackburn.
Owner-builder Blackburn provides comprehensive, nontechnical instruction in the basic method of erecting a standard frame house. Specifically written for laymen, this book contains separate chapters on each major architectural feature (site and foundation, framing, siding, roofing, etc.), and more specialized information on that stage of construction. There are over 400 very detailed illustrations of building steps . . and outstanding coverage is given to working supplies and tools. Although the text is in script (and more difficult to read than type), this first-rate how-to manual is well worth careful reading. 155 pages. Paperback. 64038 $4.95
