3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I was expecting, 26 Aug 2009

S. Hasell "sarahbdemille" (Herts UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Week-end Book (Paperback)

Read the reviews on this and they were great! quoting the Guardian and Times etc....BUT be beware! They are quotes from the 1920's!!!!! So when I received the book I was a tad disappointed to discover that the book is from the 1920's. It is ok - quite quaint and charming in a way but does feel outdated. I gave it 3 stars for its charm.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for summer homes and beach houses, 11 May 2006

By David Watts "D.W." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Week-End Book (Hardcover)

I first came across this little gem in England last year. I picked it up in a used bookstore and took it along on a family trip through Ireland. What a smart move. This book offers many diversions for a weekend out of the city and an extended visit to the country. Filled with games and puzzles as well as sections on animal tracks and birdsongs this book has a little something for everyone.

I was so happy when I learned that The Weekend Book was being reissued. I'd been searching for other used copies to give as gifts (talk about the perfect gift to give to your hosts...) but they were expensive. This is the perfect gift and it's under 20 dollars (and even cheaper here on Amazon).

Oh, and did I mention that it is beautiful to look at as well?

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God it's FRIDAY!, 6 Jun 2006

By Cliff Milledge "Cliff" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Week-End Book (Hardcover)

I can't recommend this book highly enough, especially now that the glory of the summer weekend is upon us. Unlike something like Schott's Miscellany, this collection is actually filled with things worth knowing (the constellation, guides to birdsong, parlor games, etc.) and aside from being a useful book to have with you on vacation, it's also a fascinating look into the early 20th century world of P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, and it's written with the same dry british wit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kill your television, 9 Sep 2007

By a reader - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Week-End Book (Hardcover)

A boyfriend gave my mother a copy of this in 1936.
She's still reading it, reciting the Shakespeare sonnets, consulting it on astronomy and giggling at the very witty Britty hate poems.
There are games and recipes.
It is an instruction manual on how to live life outside video games. What a concept.
