Dear Rainy Folk: Well, your back cover of the May issue inspired me to take up pen and ink and do some art again, and the above is the result, so I decided to send it to you for whatever use you may make of it. The three grafts are of wood from three different apple trees. They were put on this spring with wood I brought down from Oregon. One was blooming, and will probably bear apples this year; a second has turned out to have pretty reddish leaves and will bloom and bear too. Both are twoor three-year-old wood. I've got more than ~\(.I~ 1'1~o ~'1 1 C"1..1ftoPN~ a dozen kinds of apples on a couple of fullgrown trees up in Oregon. One first-year graft bore 25 golden delicious apples last year. Dan Knapp Berkeley, CA Dear Mark, Thanks for the good review of our study, Absentee and Local Ownership of Maine Manufacturing in RA/N's July issue. For RAIN your information, there is a charge of $3.50. The copy you received was a free press copy. Hope your work is going well. Russell Libby National Center for Economic Alternatives 122 State St. Augusta, ME 04330 Dear RAIN, In the note after the Illich article (July), you indicate that Toward a History of Needs is published by Pantheon. I suspect that this edition may not be available. . But the book has been re-issued by Bantam Books Inc. (666 Fifth Ave., New York, NY10019)-$2.95 (cat no. 12276-2). It has just been published in a new series called "New Age Books." Sincerely, Lee Hoinacki Cobden, IL RAIN: To update your Alcohol section, June issue: I ordered from most sources listed, with the following results: AAA (Texas) replied saying there would be a delay on supplies. DESERT replied: The $6. 95 quoted should be $9.95. RUTAN replied: Out of print, new version: $8.00 and offered AAA book from stock, but at $4.00 (other titles at high rates). Biomass and ACR haven't replied yet (but only 10 days gone by). Mother Earth News (not in your review) delivered their $15.00 plans in 25 days but with sheets missing. Various suppliers in Popular Science and similar mags' classified ads replied quickly enough, but supplied only Xeroxed rubbish. Better news: The DESERT book and the AAA book are available from EARTH MOVE, Box 4167, South Bell, WA 98225, for $7.95 and $2. 75 postpaid, respectively. They have others too. The DESERT book is Journal of Appropriate Technology RAIN is a national information access journal making connections for people seeking more simple and satisfying lifestyles, working to make their communities and regions economically self-reliant, building a society that is durable, just and ecologically sound.
