Author: D. C. Beard

The Handy Book was the perfect survival manual, when it first came out in 1882 -- and remains a classic today in its 37th printing! It contains plans for 16 kinds of kites and hot-air balloons and fishing tackle. It tells you how to make and stock an aquarium, to construct a water telescope and how to camp out without a tent or in a hut made from pine boughs. How to build 10 kinds of boats, including a flatboat with a covered cabin. How to make bird calls and squirt guns with astonishing range!The ultimate pre-TV, anti-couch potato activity book, it answers the question,

"What's there to do?"
