This review is from: How to Buy an Elephant and 38 Other Things You Never Knew You Wanted to Know (Turtleback)
At one time or another I am sure all of us have wondered, at least once, how you would go about buying an elephant. Well after reading this book you will know exactly how to make such a purchase should you be so inclined. This book is actually a collection of articles on various subjects and while most were written in the 1800s there are some articles as recent as the 1970s and all of them are highly enjoyable. Among other useful skills you will learn how to signal a crane, fly a plane (at least a 1917 version) and cast a statue. The social etiquette articles are particularly interesting as they provide a window into our ancestors views on such subjects as how to shake hands and whom and when to marry. While many of these articles must be taken with a grain of salt they are all quite enjoyable.
