Boston: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., 1913. Mustard yellow hardcover with black and red illustration to cover and spine. 396 pages 'with over 600 illustrations and working-drawings.' This is one of those great "how-to" books that kept children busy 100 years ago...experiement, crafts, woodworking, gift-making, toy making, magic tricks, outdoor activities, camp craft, and much more. Hey - girls can play at this stuff, too! Good for home schooling - a great insight into children's lives as well as aspects of everyday life of the period. Plus many of these crafts are applicable to today's child, or can be "updated" for modern use. The book is in good condition. The cover and spine colors are faded, but internally it is tight, sound, and has only a few smudges on pages here and there. Previous owner's name in pencil - easily erased, but I always like the sense of a real person having owned and used a book before. Keep the kids away from the computers, cell phones and TV - give them something interesting to do and the tools to do it with, and see how they respond! CARPENTRY 4564. First Edition. Hard Cover.
