Off The Wall
PUBLIC WORKS: A HANDBOOK FOR SELF-RELIANT LIVING, edited and compiled by Walter Szykitka (Links):: Not all the bastard progeny of the Whole Earth Catalogue are smug hippie trips. This one here is a compilation of all kinds of government and other publications in the public domain telling you how to do nearly everything under the sun. Granted that the government has certain biases in the information they give out, and you might have biases of a somewhat different sort, still, if you need to find out how to grow cabbage, lay bricks, whitewash a wall, mend a shirt, or cope with your kid’s German measles, it’s good to have all this stuff under one cover. I have a feeling I’ll be using this book now and again — it looks like an essential reference.
