This document is a digitized scan of page 1 from the Point Reyes Light, the weekly community newspaper of Point Reyes Station, California, dated August 10, 1961. The image was sourced from Newspapers.com (image ID 1103968316) and downloaded on April 5, 2025. As with other scanned newspaper pages in this archive, the text layer contains only the Newspapers.com metadata and copyright notice; the actual article content is embedded in the scanned page image and is not available through text extraction. This front page dates from a period when Philip K. Dick was actively residing in Point Reyes Station on Lorraine Avenue with his third wife, Anne Dick. The summer of 1961 places this issue squarely within Dick's most critically celebrated creative period. By August 1961, Dick had likely completed or was actively working on The Man in the High Castle, which would be published in 1962 and go on to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963. He was also producing a steady stream of short fiction and novels during this time. Point Reyes Station in the early 1960s was a small, rural community in western Marin County, and the Light served as its primary source of local news, community announcements, and advertising. As a front page from the local newspaper of Dick's home community during this formative period, the document has potential value for researchers seeking to reconstruct the social, economic, and cultural environment in which Dick lived and worked. Its significance for PKD scholarship depends on whether the scanned image contains any direct references to Dick or his circle, which can only be determined through visual inspection of the original page.
