Microscope Gee Whiz
Wonderful little book jammed with elaborate colored drawings that tells the beginner a little about everything to do with a microscope. And all in a mere 48 pages! From data on the history and types of microscopes, to introductions and samples and how to prepare them, (from tissues and insects to crystals) to ideas for experiments and lists of simple equipment needs, and how to build them at home, this book is a veritable cornucopia of information. If you are thinking of getting a microscope, we strongly recommend "The World of the Microscope" as a great stimulus for the novice user. It won't answer heavy duty scientific questions. But it will keep the beginner busy, challenged and entertained for days and weeks! By Chris Oxlade and Corrine Stockley. Paperback, 7-3/4" x 9-3/4". One of the Usborne science and experiments series of books.

A great reference book and #2 on our list of fun things to do! Originally $17.95 and marked down to $10.88 by a national merchandiser. Our price is a steal!

Wind-Up Wagons
We love obsessives. Mike Rigsby, author of Amazing Rubber Band Cars (124pp, soft cover) has spent way too much time designing and building rubber band cars. His book has designs for (13) rubber band cars, all built from simple materials (cardboard, pencils, a few CDs, and the eponymous rubber bands) and made for speed, distance, or goofiness. Well-illustrated, with easy-to-follow directions, it culminates with a giant, you-can-sit-in-it car that he swears will work. Send us a picture.
