From 1895, Hobbies Weekly brought much-needed practical advice and inspiration to bespectacled boys in V-neck pullovers, young ladies in sensible shoes and their pipe-smoking parents (of both sexes) throughout the Empire. The Ammonite Press is proud to reintroduce these solid values at a time when society couldn't be in greater need of guidance. This book, which is full of humorous extracts and anecdotes, is bound to appeal to any young person in need of a phenakistoscope (an old-fashioned zoetrope, a moving image device), those women whose home is without a boot-cleaning stool and all men who wish to benefit from the advice given in a 1950s series of articles entitled: Please the Wife.

This review is from: Hobbies Annual: Useful Occupations for Practical Chaps (Hardcover)
HOBBIES ANNUAL: USEFUL OCCUPATIONS FOR PRACTICAL CHAPS provides a vintage selection of images and ideas based on anecdotes, extracts, and articles of bygone years. From a Dalek 'treasure rack' for any Doctor Who TV fan to building a toy crossbow, this collection of vintage articles is a 'must' for any crafter's library.
