In 1971, this was my Bible and I want to share it with those of you that were not yet a gleam in your daddy's eye. http://www.wholeearth.com/issue-electronic-edition.php?iss=1150
That's funny, I bought one of those at a flea market a year ago. I love the idea, but sometimes it makes you wonder about how the author's decided what to include and what not to. I.E., a page on natural childbirth, and the next few pages on small aircraft navigation. Good stuff!
The Author was a pioneer of alternative living and included everything that he could think of that might be of use, might be a bargain, or had strategic purpose. One of my favorites is a factory that made building materials out of polermerized black strap molasses.

I have one called The Big Book of Self-Reliant Living. At a glance it seems to have some odd listings but if the 8th grade public school curriculum were based on this book the avg person wouldn't seem like such a moron. Have a few of the titles already listed, as well. Byte
