Presumably this book was never sold in the U.K. otherwise, much as I hate to admit it, there is a good chance I would have seen it. Despite the fact that it is younger than any of the similar books we sell, the projects are very similar: bells, torches, telegraph key, crystal sets, telephones and circuits, chimes, motors and the like, plus here the rather more dangerous Burning Pencil, Arcing Pencil, Table Stove and a Corn Popper. What does make this book different is is the layout, with a lot more photographs, and the last 50 or so pages, which mainly consist of good instruction on basic construction techniques - coil winding, soldering, building a punching jig, the general use of hand tools and much more. So this is well worth considering even if you have the other books. 205 heavily illustrated pages. Paperback. Lindsay Publications
