I quite like the "modernise your home with asbestos" type books.

And "electrical things you can make at home for boys"

I used to have (and wish I still did) a Boys' Annual which contained, among
many other useful articles, a complete guide to home taxidermy with
illustrated instructions on how to stuff your deceased pet budgie.

There was a wonderful one act play "As good as New", where a young lady's
boy friend dropped dead. "Never mind dear" said her mother "Grandpa will
make him a s good as new.". Grandpa did taxidermy,

I did that with Wireless World, for years.

That practice continued for a long time: I have a bound volume of Gramophone
magazine from the mid-seventies which was produced in exactly the same way.

Do you recall Knowledge, which you bound yourself on a special binder. They
were very good value. The only problem of course was you occasionally found
missing issues and incorrect indexing when you tried to bind them. I learned
a lot as a child from those, including how to build a nuclear pile and why a
moderator was needed etc, Had a bit of trouble getting the right kind of
Uranium though.

Was it expensive? Usually you sent away for a "binder" that the
magazines fell out of.

I thought Knowledge was too intellectual and full of boring history, so
I went for Discovering Science. I suppose I kind of thought that if I
had a comprehensive book I wouldn't need actually to learn anything.
Unfortunately the indexing was inadequate (i.e. non-existent), and they
continued to produce them past the number of volumes they originally
planned for so I cancelled the subscription.

No, that was "Understanding Science". "Knowledge" had dark blue
binders with a Pharoah's Mummy on the cover.
