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, -- from KT24 in Surrey, England "I'd rather die of exhaustion than die of boredom" Thomas Carlyle |

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. grin.

Usually you sent away for a "binder" that the magazines fell out of. -- Max Demian |

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. -- Max Demian |
