This week's product review features two books.
This first book is a cookbook I've had since, I think, my college days (early 1980s) entitled "More-with-Less Cookbook." Published by a Mennonite publishing house, it features recipes that are simple, basic, easy to follow, and emphasize food as a resource that is to be treasured, not squandered.
This cookbook has been reprinted over and over since its initial publishing date in 1976, and in fact has sold more than a million copies ... with good reason. The late author, Doris Longacre, was a passionate advocate for reducing world hunger, and this cookbook is a reflection of that passion. It's an excellent resource for those who want easy recipes with wholesome, basic ingredients. The book contains hundreds of economical recipes that makes meat optional. "More-with-Less Cookbook" should be a staple in every frugal person's kitchen.

Don's book recommendation this week is a little unorthodox, but in a great way: The "Boy Scouts Handbook," a reprint of the first edition in 1911.
Don writes:
I've had a copy of this book for years. Not an original, but a reprint like the one offered by Amazon.
If you want to see what boys were learning to do back in the early 1900s, this is for you. I don't mean to put down the young men of today's scouting, but we seem to have lost something truly important.
Anyway, this is a great book just for casual perusal. Enjoy!
