They're not thinking of the "Mother Earth News" magazine, are they?

 "I am looking for a set of books from the sixties that tell you how to
 do everything. Like from making a forge to making medicines. It was a
 set of books or series. They are not the firefox series. I just found
 out about it from TV. I remember them being done about the time of the
 bay of pigs, they were done out of the fear that the world would end due
 to nuclear war.....more like a how to series. The idea of them is to
 keep us out of the dark ages.
Skinny books, more like large pamphlets? Could it be the titles
from Garden Way, now the Storey Bulletin series?

I think the earlier group went under HAVE-MORE Plan with various
titles.
