Sobre este artículo
n.p.: Old Hickory Publishing Company, 1974. Paperback. Good. Paperback. 11" X 8 1/2". 200pp. Moderate wear to paper wraps, with dust soiling, rubbing to extremities, and creasing to spine. Binding remains firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. Ink to pages is very occasionally lighter than elsewhere in the publication. A solid copy of this 1974 collection of traditional, century-old "potions, concoctions, and methods that were used to accomplish tasks during the time when self reliance, indiviudal fortitude and ingenuity was required," including household recipes like "lemonade for invalids," "gooseberries, to dry," and "celebrated moth and freckle lotion," handyman instructions for such tasks as making a hydrometer from catgut and a straw, making fertilizer from carcasses, and making cements, varnishes, and peach tree gum, and remedies, including tinctures, essences, and elixirs, along with explosives, homemade fireworks, and much, much more.

Sobre Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
