Walking along the book aisle in Costco the other day, I came to a rather sudden stop as a specific books caught my eye. With a name like The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers, can you blame me? This was obviously a book stocked for a local audience, so I hope our non-Utah readers can find a copy. Author Caleb Warnock is a local (Alpine, Utah) writer, year-round gardener, and teacher of "Forgotten Skills" classes. It also helped when I noticed one of the people listed in the special thanks section is a friend of mine, and local sci-fi author (how's that for a tight-knit Utah Valley).
