This book is brand new.  However, there is a tiny bend on the lower corner of the front cover.

Whether it concerns brewing beer, making bread or keeping cows, pigs, poultry or bees, William Cobbett's classic work, originally published in 1821 is still an inspiring guide for anyone seeking to become self-sufficient.  This 1833 edition also includes Cobbett's "The Poor Man's Friend:  A Defence of the Rights of Those Who Do the Work and Fight the Battles."
