The Alaska Catalog: Living, Working, & Traveling in the Northland
Alaska books tend to accent deprivation and gold. Alaska guidebooks tend to stress the joys of murdering rare animals. The tourist brochures assume you have unlimited money and that you’ll go home when it gets cold. Exported stories are vulnerable to Texas-style inflation (except for mosquito stories, which simply can’t be exaggerated). So what does one do if one wishes to find out what to expect in Alaska? One buys The Alaska Catalog, that’s what. You’ll find everything from job hunting tips to patterns for making mukluks, with sources pinned right down to the person’s name you should talk to. Unlike many Whole Earth Catalog look-alikes this is excellent in every respect, including attitude. I can personally vouch (from having lived there) that much of their information is just what you’ll need.
