It’s finally here, what you didn’t know you’ve been waiting for all these years. The Compleat Cascadian is a compilation of every issue of the legendary co-housing newsletter of the Cascadia Commons community. Founded in August of 2003 by Elaine Fawcett, the newsletter was published (with a break here and there) until it’s final issue in March of 2015. Lovingly restored, with a beautiful digitised antique leather cover and fine attention to preserving the fidelity of the original typography and layout, Resurrection Publishing is proud to bring you this exciting compilation from the archives of The Cascadian.

This edition has a complete table of contents, accessible by clicking the “Bookmark” icon in the Adobe Acrobat reader to facilitate quick and easy navigation to your favourite issues. Though many of the early issues of The Cascadian were not released digitally, through the miracle of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology the full contents of The Compleat Cascadian are indexed for fast search. Plug in a term like “Playground” and you’ll be whisked to the November 2009 issue announcing the completion of the present play structure. Read grade schooler Nate Martchenke’s perceptive observation of the pressures endured by our younglings: “They skin you alive with work.” See Pei looking forward to her first day in kindergarten.

“They skin you alive with work.”

Virtual leather used in the production of the cover for this book. Only digital cows were sacrificed in the creation of this antique style virtual leather book binding. No incarnate bovines or other animals were harmed in the production of this book.

The author presumes that you will read The Compleat Cascadian on a mobile device, such as a tablet or a phone. Holding a 27″ iMac or a Dell UltraSharp 43 4K USB-C Monitor in your hands would be a bit impractical.
