In the same vain, Another gem is the 1968 Whole Earth Catalog and Whole Earth Field Guide. Long out of print, but worth hunting up a copy.
Besides the "4 sale" items, it was a tremendous source of rural survivalist, minimalist, and archaic agricultural articles.
Like how to use cow shiite to generate poop-gas for lighting, heating, and cooking.
Here are two short PDF files. The originals were 15inch x 20inch, and around 300 pages??, printed in b/w, in a style not unlike the early 1900 Sears catalogs.

I was given a copy of WEC way back,, but my daughters used it as a coloring book..
If you read it, you will get an idea of what the early hippy communes were like. They were survivalist & preppers,, with a doobie in each hand..
A second version was the Whole Earth Field Guide.
Discounting the doobies & love beads, these are handy guides for those that want to live off the grid or just want a knowledge base for their library..
