Side dose of those Record books
Well the comment section led me down an eBay rabbit hole and now I’ve got like 10 books coming.
I didn’t have any of those but I DID have a copy of The Way Things Work by David Macaulay, which is an exploration of mechanical concepts demonstrated with adorable illustrations of mammoths. Kinda similar presentation, according to my search.
I should get a new (old) copy.
i mean…

WASI had the Titanic and Bismarck books.
I’ve still got my arms and armor 🤓
My school library pulled these books from the shelves because every time it was “library time” kids would always rush to pick these books first, and they said “all you do is look at the pictures” which is bad apparently.
Fuck that reasoning. That’s what got me into the insects those creepy looking ones. How else are you supposed to describe a praying mantis, like it’s 1350 and carved into stone?
These were great books
Pfft, Crystal & Gem was best.
All I could find was an amazon link for the first edition.
I just got a later edition of this on eBay!
Nice!
Ah yes, the well established science of Crystal Healing (see inside the book).
My favorite ones from childhood were the ones on crystals and money. I managed to find them in a yard sale a few years ago.
I used to get two of these bad boys for christmas from my grandfather every year. Top tier!
Oh did they not have the Dorling Kindersley branding over there?
figure a: what I thought as a kid the job market would be when I grow up.
Your local library may have some!
This was the shit, the gem planet and jungle ones banged hard
