I have a lovely first edition in a box ready for the dump. Should I keep it?
We read our Whole Earth Catalog cover to cover, the original one. Subsequent issues not. There is a lot of fascinating stuff in there. For some reason everybody I knew had also read the thing in detail. It seemed like everybody was expected to know what was in there and to know it.
Give it a run on Ebay prior to trashing it. Someone may consider it a collectors item.
