Described by Laurel as "a handwritten guide to bohemian country living illustrated with line drawings," this work was originally written as a guide for fellow residents at the Wheeler Ranch commune in Sonoma County, California (see https://aliciabaylaurel.com/bio/). It was first published in 1970 by the The Bookworks; when that small printing sold out, the title was picked up by Random House, and became the first paperback book to hit the New York Times Bestseller List.
