1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boy Scouts Handbook the First Edition, 1911 (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this volume and I haven't yet decided to return it. For some reason, all the original diagrams and illustrations have been removed from the reprint -- even where they are referenced in the text.
There is no TOC or index and or any use of bold or highlighted typefaces to even determine the beginning or end of a topic. The volume is poorly laid-out. For example, a 43-page listing of suggested materials at the end lists Title, Author and Publisher with no line breaks between the references. In fact, there isn't a line break or paragraph heading in the entire volume. It looks very much like a computer printout from the pre-desktop publishing era, before WYSIWYG typography. Please note, the original volume was NOT formatted this way, this was a very cheap reproduction of the original, unskillfully assembled with no effort at all going into the publishing process. This makes it useless as a reference book.

This review is from: Boy Scouts Handbook: The First Edition, 1911 (Dover Books on Americana) (Paperback)
Anyone that spends any time in the great outdoors owes it to themselves to get this book.
It's jam-packed with timeless tips to make even a greenhorn look like a seasoned old pro. Plus...it's a doorway back to a kinder time that bears remembering.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boy Scouts Handbook: The First Edition, 1911 (Dover Books on Americana) (Paperback)
The book is an exact replica of the 1911 handbook, right down to the ads. A must have, especially for the centennial.
