Description

This book is designed to be used, not read! The Swiss Army knife of books...all-in-one reference! Its handy size makes it portable. The pages tear out for easy reference. It is both useful and entertaining. "Use This Book" offers individual pages with a multitude of ingenious multitasking functions. There are pages that do double duty as a cup or a sun dial and others that serve as useful on-the-spot reference tools (time zone charts, metric conversion card). There are handy guides for finding water in the desert, identifying poisonous plants, and treating a snakebite. Never be stuck with nothing to do - turn to the leisure section and teach yourself to dance or play a game of checkers. Everything you need is in this single reference book. With an engaging design and lots of useful diagrams, this is one book you should never leave home without! Useful items include: Test Your Eyesight (Vision Chart); Chicken Soup Recipe; Fortune Cubes; No Smoking Sign; For Sale Sign; No Parking Sign; Beware of Dog Sign; and, Disposable Drinking Cup.
