I think I might have one of these as well. It's a grey ring binder

Funnily enough, my copy surfaced yesterday! It's fun...I'll keep it!

Yeah, I've got one somewhere


And me. Actually - is there anyone here who *hasn't* got a copy?

I have some other, rather more ancient, tomes like the 5-volume "Amateur
Mechanic" from the 1930s (where "mechanic" means "diy-er") and the
fabulously Pythonesque "The Practical Man's Book of Things to Make and
Do", which must be of similar vintage. Useful topic like:

- Making a wood harp
- Building a sailing boat
- Overhauling a motor-car
- Taxidermy
- Making a reflex camera
- Thatching a roof

and many more...
