Publisher's Synopsis
This book is filled with black & white illustrations and schematics. It gives instruction and advice on subjects ranging from kites, fishing, knots, telescopes, tents, soap bubbles, snowball warfare, puppets, kaleidoscopes, whirligigs, costumes, decoys and fireworks. There are many topics related to animals and wildlife--even including taxidermy and trapping. The projects range in complexity. From the very simple (like paper crafts), to the quite involved--such as boat construction. This book, "The American Boy's Handy Book. What to Do and how to Do it", by Daniel Carter Beard, is a replication of a book originally published before 1882. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology. Thank you for supporting classic literature.
