Foxfire 3, Animal Care, Banjos and Dulcimers, Hide Tanning, Summer and Fall Wild Plant Foods, Butter Churns, Ginseng, and Still More Affairs of Plain Living
The entire Foxfire project has
been a favorite of Owl Cave Books since our very beginnings and we have included
their exceptional books in many of our reading lists and reviews in the past.
Foxfire Magazine
(named after a vernacular term for a type of glowing fungus that occurs in the
forests of North Georgia) started in 1966 when Elliot Wiggington and his
students conducted a series of first person interviews with local elders about
the impact of technology on traditional lifestyles.
Foxfire has since grown into a series of books and a literary organization and funding body dedicated to documenting a huge range of traditional practices and beliefs, including Appalachian folk magic, old-time burial customs, corn shucking, soapmaking, wild food gathering, wood carving, squaredancing, rifelmaking, fiddle making, banjos, witches, moonshining, beekeeping and hunting tales.

Various Small Books, Edited by Jeff Brouws Wendy Burton and Hermann Zschienger
In the late 1960s and early
1970s Ed Ruscha made a series of small books documenting the Los Angeles landscape of gas stations, parking lots, palm trees, swimming pools, and the
Sunset Strip. Various Small Books is a both an affectionate tribute to the
enduring influence of Ruscha’s ‘small books’ projects and a critical survey of
over 100 artists books revisiting, parodying or paying homage their deadpan,
minimalist wit.
