The Pinecraft Pauper Newspaper
The Pinecraft Pauper is published twice per month, and hardcopy issues sell for $1. It is black-and-white, with photos and illustrations. There are 10 issues, beginning mid-December and running through Easter week.
The Pinecraft Pauper was temporarily retired after the 2009-10 winter months. It's a seasonal paper. Sherry Gore has since taken over editorship, and under her guidance it has come roaring back for another season.
The first issue of the second run has just been released; it continues in the same vein. Highlights in this issue include “Christmas, Florida” (on a small town near Orlando), ”Mischievous Logic Puzzles”, a recipe for squirrel stew, and a report on the Flying Dutchman’s hard landing (he’s pretty banged up, but sounds like he’ll survive).
The Pinecraft Pauper was selected to be placed in the Mennonite Historical Library in Goshen, Indiana, at Goshen Mennonite College.
The Pinecraft Pauper (published by Pinecraft Village Publishers) was also selected to be made into a cloth-bound book and placed in the Amish Historical Library in Alymer, Ontario, Canada, owned and operated by the oldest and largest Old Order Amish publishers in the world.
