Times past..

Sculling about in the local secondhand bookshop I came across this and captured it, for old times sake..:D

Never mind all that Gucci kit and fancy boots..:D

Haven't seen this on my wanderings, well not since the 1950's anyway....:D

I picked this one up last month, love old books, they even smell good:ashamed:
printed in the 40's, has lots of projects to make whilst in the woods,
will try a few this year,

Midge, a lot of the older books now out of copyright are to be found on the internet for you to download. Project Guttenberg is very good

Not just woodcraft etc, this is a stunning read
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30197

University of Adelaide has another great free ebook site
http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/

They all come in different formats for Kindle, plain text etc so you don't need a Kindle to read them although you can download the free Kindle app for PC/Apple/Android. I've spent hours searching through the above sites and there are more books there than I'll have time to read in this lifetime.

It's great to know that. I've haven't used ebooks, I only just discovered I could get trout and fly fisher on my phone lol. Cheers Shug

No problem chap. I love 'real' books but electronic readers whether a kindle or phone or laptop or tablet still mean you are reading a book which is so important given that so many rely on snippits from the likes of Wikipedia et al. The wife and I would take five or six books on holiday with us, these days we take thousands;)

Aye it's also nice as I've saved those links onto my phone through sky drive, no memory loss and I can get to them when I'm out without ruining a perfectly good book. Still can't beat the smell of a dusty old book though, on a par to me with that smell of old oil you get on antique tools lol
