    About this ebook

    Brothers and sisters! Here at last is a light-hearted, free-spirited, groovy guide to the timeless hippie skills and activities that make the world a better place, one macrame belt at a time. In illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions, author Chelsea Cain—who grew up on an Iowa hippie commune—provides practical and playful know-how for the hippie and hippie-at-heart. Learn how to milk a goat, build a compost pile, play "Kumbaya" on the guitar, teach a dog how to catch a Frisbee, and get your file from the FBI. Discover the finer points of caring for a fern, choosing a mantra, organizing a protest, naming your hippie baby, and making sand candles as holiday gifts. Including primers on cooking, dressing, driving, telling time, dancing, and celebrating your birthday in classic hippie style, and a righteous appendix of essential hippie books, movies, and slang, The Hippie Handbook knows the score. Right on.

      This book is just fun. I happened to run across it on a trip to a little town in Northern California and knew I just had to have it. First, the paper the book is printed on is nice, sort of course, and the cover caught my attention immediately. I also liked that the chapters were very short, just a page or two. And the stories behind the creations were both amusing and informative.If you ever wanted to learn about what you missed in the 60s, this is the book for you.
