What books MUST be included?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about the Foxfire books? There are 12 in the series. I have a couple of them I found at a thrift store years ago. Hope to get the rest some day.

The Foxfire books are a series of copyrighted anthologies of articles originally written for Foxfire magazine, along with additional content not suitable for the magazine format. Though first conceived primarily as a sociological work, recounting oral traditions, the books, particularly the early ones, were a commercial success as instructional works.
Members of the 1970s back-to-the-land movement used the books as a basis to return to lives of simplicity. The first book was published in 1972 as The Foxfire Book. This was followed by an additional 11 books, titled in sequence Foxfire 2 through Foxfire 12.
Excellent suggestion! We’ll need to get the copyright owner’s permission for a limited run of a thousand or so. Hopefully they’ll waive charges, or at least minimize them.
The majority will be public domain works.
