The Dangerous Book for Boys

Anyone here heard of it?

Telegraph.co.uk article


I don't know about anyone else, but I fuly intend to buy 3 copies of this.
One for me.
One for safe-keeping because for my kids, because I don't hold much hope of it staying on the shelves that long.
And one for my young nephews in Edmonton (my sister and brother in law will hate me for it ) I had (most of) a set of the old Childrens Encyclopedia, which had some similar stuff in it, but was hard to find, and being old, hard to use. I gave them those, but I fear television and computers have the lure of more immediate gratification.

hehe the picture in the link of the boy with the cricket pads on his arms.

I have seen this book and it's sort of cool. Might have been nice when I was younger.
