Short but Thorough Book by Mimi (Phoenix, AZ, USA) 4 Stars
March 31, 2009
This book is for my emergency instruction library. It covers everything from killing humanely and safely processing meat to packaging. Not a long book. There are illustrations that help spell the process out. There is not much fluff. I feel if I had to, I could figure out how to feed my family from one of our animals if needed with this book.
