5.0 out of 5 stars Every Boy from Six to Sixty Should Have One, 20 Sep 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

I must have missed something along the way regarding the title of the book, and I certainly do not think it is the best choice, but that aside the book is a wealth of vital information for boys, young and old.

It is the type of book that William Brown (Just William) and his gang would have had hidden under the bed, or under a pile of dry leaves in the den.

It is full of vital information, stories of incredible courage, acts of bravery, the best places to capture your very own pirate. How to make a camera, even information about girls. There is information about dinosaurs, fishing (an essential pastime), even how to make crystals. All the things a young man needs to know about.

If you once owned a penknife with a special tool to take stones out of horses hooves, then this book is essential for you. And if you didn't well read it anyway, you will have lots of fun doing so.

4.0 out of 5 stars One star off for a pedantically spotted error, 3 Oct 2007
By N. H. Ferguson (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It says in the blurb that this is a very British book. If it was, it might have the correct date for the moon landings. In Britain Neil Armstrong first stood on the moon on the 21st of July 1969, not the 20th. Due to the time difference it was at 2.56 GMT. A small point but could make a difference if you were planning an anniversary party!

There is also a slightly misleading part when it refers to Michael Collins remaining in the spacecraft. He remained in a different spacecraft to the one used by Aldrin and Armstrong for the lunar landing.
