I have checked (some years ago) and found that when Lincoln Land Community
College moved from the temporary campus and left the "Tinker Toy Tech"
bulidins, etc. behind that not all (if any) of the archives of the "Lamp"
made it to the new permanent campuis.

And the "book" was 128 pages with a paper cover, stapled into 5 1/2"
by 8 1/2" folio. Since this was nearly 60 years ago I sort of doubt
any have lived through the wear and tear of the ravages of life.

Thanks for the offer though. Here's a recipe I first published in the
"Lamp" in an outdoors column I wrote onder a pen name. The "Thunder 
Belly" given as a source was an actual person.

      Title: Campfire Trout
 Categories: Five, Seafood, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4    (6 - 8 oz) fresh caught
           - rainbow trout; gutted,
           - heads optional
      2    Handsful wild onion greens
           - or chives
           Salt & Pepper
           Lemon juice
 
  First catch your trout - if you don't you go hungry.
  
  Gut the fish and stuff the cavity with onion/chive
  greens.
  
  Make a thick mud using river water and dirt from the
  bank. Pack the stuffed fish into a coating and place
  in the coals of your campfire, surrounding the entire
  packet.
  
  When the mud has baked hard the fish is done. Break
  open and discard the mud - taking care not to get bits
  into the cavity. The scales of the fish will come away
  with the mud.
  
  Season with salt & pepper and lemon juice and ENJOY!!!
  
  First made by me on the Kern River between Bodfish and
  Johnsondale, California in July 1966.
