Whole Earth Catalog and Fox Fire books were like maker bibles for me when I was a kid. Nothing quite compares to them now days. Fox Fire books in particular were non-commercial (from my memory) and full of really interesting skills and information. They were the maker movement before it was a (tech/online) thing.

What a wonderful memory. I still have all my Foxfire volumes. When a certain web browser came out I thought "They got the name backwards."
