was written by Conn and his brother Hal. It was published in the UK in June 2006, and reached number one in the UK non-fiction charts several times selling over half a million copies. I only brought this up because I think it sounds like a most marvelous book. It's a how-to for things like building go-carts and slingshots, tying knots and identifying fossils. Just reading the chapter names evokes back to simpler and happier times. I think anyone with kids or is a kid at heart should definitely get this book. Take a look:
