this may make me look out of touch.... but what are the Firefox Books? Is there a special subject in these, or are they just story books?

Superdog - Here's an explanation of the Foxfire books from Wikipedia:
"Foxfire, the name of a series of books which are anthologies of articles from a lesser-known magazine of the same name. The first book of the series was published in 1972. As of 2004, the most recent is Foxfire 12; also as of that date, there are nearly nine million copies of the various books in print.
The series is an effort to document the lifestyle, culture, and skills of people in southern Appalachia in a mixture of how-to information and first person narratives and oral history. Topics covered in the books include apple butter, banjos, basket weaving, beekeeping, butter churning, corn shucking, dulcimers, faith healing, fiddle making, haints, ginseng, hide tanning, hog dressing, hunting tales, log cabin building, moonshining, midwives, old-time burial customs, planting 'by the signs', preserving foods, sassafras tea, snake handling and lore, soap making, spinning, square dancing, wagon making, weaving, wild food gathering, witches, and wood carving."
"Though conceived primarily as a sociological work, the books, particularly the early ones, were a commercial success as instructional works. Members of the back to the land movement used them as a blueprint for their attempts to return to a life of simplicity."
There's also a website, Foxfire.

I have the dead tree version of the series. The binding is shot on quite a few of my books (from the '70s), so I will definitely take a look at this. Are the PDFs searchable, or are they just scanned images from paper?

Thank you for posting this link. My dad had these and I read them when I was a teenager. I loved diving in and spending hours in these books.
WanderingOak, they are scanned images but are searchable.

I dunno, go check them out and see what you think.
If they are maybe you can contact the owner of the website or the owner of the copy right about it.

It looks like these are good for 60 days and you can buy the DVD's pretty cheap.
