Four books, written one at a time over a year. Set side by side, they turn out to be one thing.
The Bakery starts with grain already in a sack. The Garden starts with ground nobody has planted yet. The Larder is what happens to a harvest before winter. The Home is the heat, the light and the water that ran all three.
They were never planned as a set. They ended up as one because a household was one — the dung heap that feeds the garden beds is the same heap whose heat germinates seed in February, and the clamp that keeps the roots is three pages from the recipe that uses them.
Four books. Each one still sold on its own.
Nothing here is an abridgement or a sampler. These are the same four books that stand on their own pages, at their own prices — the whole text of each, bought once instead of four times.
Three books: ten loaves with weights and oven temperatures, the rye starter built from flour and water alone, and where to find grain that behaves like the old grain.
What grew in a kitchen garden before the seed catalogue — with sowing numbers, lookalike tests that work at the rosette stage, and where to actually get the seed.
How a household ate through winter without a refrigerator. Salting, smoking, drying, fermenting, burying — each with the science under it and the safety margins written out.
Heat, light, water, storage and repair the way households managed them before the meter — what each saved then, what it saves now, and which still hold up.
The Bakery is three separate books.
It was written as three and it is delivered as three — the recipes, the starter, and the sourcing. That is why four books arrive as six PDFs.

You save $51.00 — more than any single volume on this page costs. Which also means: if you already own one of the four, this is still the cheaper way to get the other three. If you only ever wanted one of them, buy that one — its page is linked above, and nothing here is cheaper than reading only what you came for.
Before you buy.
What exactly do I get?
Six PDF files, delivered by email the moment the payment clears. Nothing ships, nothing expires, nothing renews. They open on a phone, a tablet, a laptop or an e-reader, and they print cleanly if you would rather have them in the kitchen.
I already own one of the four.
Then this is still the cheaper way to get the other three — even counting the one you own as a second copy. If you own two or more, don't buy this: pick the missing ones off their own pages and you pay less.
Is any of it printed?
No — the Library is six PDF files. That is what makes it arrive in seconds instead of a week, and it is a large part of why four books cost what two printed ones would. They print cleanly at home if you want a chapter on the kitchen wall.
What if it is not for me?
Read it for fourteen days. If it is not what you hoped for, write to us and you get your money back — you keep the files either way, because there is no way to hand a PDF back. A broken link or a corrupted download is not a refund case: tell us and we fix it the same day.
Four books, six files, one payment.
Delivered the moment the payment clears. No subscription, no membership, nothing recurring — and nothing left on the shelf to buy later.
