Survival Scrapbook 2

This is the second of Stefan Szczelkun's Survival Scrapbook trilogy about basic life supports. Published first in the UK in late 1972 by Unicorn Bookshop in Brighton (Bill Butler) it was then published by Schocken Books NY in 1974 in a slightly smaller format. covers all forms of small scale food production including the collection of wild plants (UK). Part of a widespread underground or counter cultural movement at the time. The UK edition was printed in three colours to colour code different sections. This was unfortunately dropped in the rationalised US edition. The UK edition is rare now due to the perfect binding which was meant to be removed and the pre drilled pages put into a ring binder and reorganised and added to. The idea being to challenge the idea of fixed taxonomies and the authority of the book. This entry shows the cover of the Unicorn edition designed by Clifford Harper who also has drawings reproduced in 'Shelter' and 'Food'. Recently updated to IA a scan of an unpublished justification of the Survival Scrapbooks.
