Time-Life Books permalink

Advanced WoodworkingSweet, sweet Time-Life books. They cover a million subjects, none of them relevant.

Topics such as “Advanced Woodworking”, “Mass Murderers”, and “Great North American Chieftains” are explained in tremendous, outdated detail with tons of pictures to illustrate simple concepts for the men who aren’t “readers”.

Mass MurderersGreat ChieftainsMagical Beasts

There are even a few highly sought-after editions, such as “Magical Beasts” from 1983 and “Baby Catapult” from 1975.

Time-Life stopped publishing the books in 1992 when several lawsuits arose from the book “Indoor Cookout” after 17 readers’ families died tragically.
