Desert Rat Scrap Book
The Desert Rat Scrap Book was a roughly quarterly Southwestern humor publication based in Thousand Palms, California. DRSB was published in editions of 10,000 to 20,000 copies whenever its creator, Harry Oliver, had sufficient material and enough money to pay the printer. Forty-six issues were printed and distributed via Southern California bookstores and newsstands and by mail worldwide. DRSB was devoted to the lore, legends, lies, and laughs of the American Southwest region, especially featuring prospectors and other "desert rats". The publication was active from late 1945 to early 1967.
