The original book that the zine is based on was published in 1918 by Sunset Magazine, which is still in operation today.

Josh RiedelGUEST
But the original book was published in 1918, and it's called The Cabin Plan Book.

Josh RiedelGUEST
And I stumbled upon it when I was researching... something in the novel that I'm writing right now.

Josh RiedelGUEST
And so I started researching that, and I came across this book from 1918, and it was archived on Project Gutenberg, which takes copyright-free texts and puts them up on the internet.
