At last, a useful how-to video.

From the folks at Good Morning Silicon Valley (via Videojug), who apparently know their audience.

Summer is here and Conn and Hal Iggulden’s “The Dangerous Book for Boys” is the perfect guidebook for entertainment in the great world outside of Xbox, television, the internet, and DVDs - for both children and adults, boys and girls. This entertaining children’s manual is nicely illustrated with 1950’s-1960’s textbook graphics and contains how-to instructions for countless fun things: crystals, go-carts, tree forts, how to play poker, codes, juggling, bows and arrows, dog tricks, make your own flashlight, et cetera. This book also contains a cornucopia of interesting short essays and information tables on subjects that are sure to entertain young and old kids: insects and spiders, tying knots, pirates, famous battles, first aid, dinosaurs, a history of artillery, navigation, clouds, the Seven Wonders of the World, etc.

All of my friends’ kids are getting this for Christmas and birthdays (though I had to buy a copy for myself first).

A nice video from the publisher, demonstrating the range of materials in this book.
