I got the first Foxfire book at a book fair when I was in grade school. I think I still have it somewhere. It was all part of my scheme as a kid to to live in the woods. I was a student of Euell Gibbons (remember the "many parts are edible" Grapenut commercials?) and had another book called "Feasting free on Wild Edibles". I can't remember the author but it explained all kinds of dishes involving wild foods.
Steve: Notice how we've turn this post to one of food. It's inevitable. Sorry.

I loved reading the Foxfire books as a teenager, the information contained in the pages of those books sparked an interest in survival and primitive skills that took my wandering teenage mind to far away campfires and fueled a lifelong interest in backwoods lore and wilderness living.. A definate must read...Mike A/ho

Yep, we're already stalking the wild asparagus. :) There's a lot about food in the Foxfire books, though, so it was inevitable.
RidgeRunner:
One of the best quotes I ever heard came from one of the Foxfire Books.
It goes something like this. "A sharp tongue is the only sharp edged tool that gets sharper with use."
Still read mine quite often.
