[PW] Re: "Libraries will get you through times of no money..." quotation

“Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries”. Anne Herbert. Quoted in The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools , ed. Stewart Brand (1980)

wanted to consult about the authorship of the oft-repeated quotation,
"Libraries (or books) will get you through times of (or with) no money
better than money will get you through times of/with no libraries/books."
It's often attributed to Anne Herbert but one site claims Paulette Dickerson
coined it. Most agree that it's a take-off from "Dope will get you through
times of no money..." quotation by Gilbert Shelton. I did find someone
posting that it appeared in the 3rd edition of the Whole Earth Catalog but
as we don't have a copy I can't verify.

Thanks!
