““My reads are always reference and this is one of my favorite collections. I can pick up any one of these books and find myself spellbound by their charm. I own the first six Foxfire editions. There is no lack of interesting pictures of old time things, and 'old timers' to tell stories about them. The collections of short articles land you solidly into yesteryear and never fail to amaze as they illustrate the ingenuity of our grandfathers, great-grandfathers and beyond. Many of the skills are easily centuries old and the books are truly windows into the past.””
